Reassessment of the association between gastrointestinal arteriovenous malformations and aortic stenosis
Article Abstract:
A possible connection between aortic stenosis, a condition caused by the narrowing of the aorta, and malformations of arteries and veins (arteriovenous malformations or AVM) of the intestines has never been rigorously studied. This paper studied the association of aortic stenosis and arteriovenous malformations of the gastrointestinal system. The presence or absence of aortic stenosis was determined by the use of ultrasound technology (including Doppler) in 29 men with gastrointestinal AVMs. Although other cardiovascular difficulties were seen, none of the men in this study were found to have aortic stenosis. The authors conclude that, although previous case reports and retrospective studies have suggested the association of aortic stenosis and AVM, this study does not support the previous findings.
