Abstract
Calcific aortic stenosis can be associated with gastrointestinal bleeding mainly from angiodysplasias which refer to Heyde syndrome. This association is considered as a form of acquiredVon Willebrand syndrome.Aortic valve replacement allows cessation of gastrointestinal bleeding and the need for blood transfusions in these patients. We describe three cases with medical history of aortic stenosisand they presented gastrointestinal bleeding related to angiodysplasias of the stomach and colon. In one case, aortic valve replacement leads to a stable hemoglobin with no further episodes of gastrointestinal bleeding.
