Abstract Text An 80-year-old man presented to the Emergency Department of our Hospital with rectal
bleeding and anemia. The patient had a history of atrial fibrillation being treated
with DOAC and severe aortic stenosis. The patient underwent upper and lower endoscopy
and small-bowel capsule endoscopy; small angiodysplasias were found in the cecum and
in the ileum with no active bleeding. We suspected Heyde's syndrome and referred
the patient to the Cardiac Surgery Department; transcatheter aortic valve implantation
was performed and the patient has experienced no further episodes of gastrointestinal
bleeding or anemia. [1]
