INTRODUCTION
Heyde Syndrome is a rare condition characterized by a classical triad of
Aortic Stenosis, Angiodysplasia of the Gastrointestinal tract often
manifesting as Gastrointestinal bleeding and acquired Von Willebrand
factor deficiency1,2. Although described by Edward
Heyde in 1958, the exact pathophysiology and prevalence are still not
clear. This condition is thought to be underreported due to a lack of
clinical suspicion and the absence of diagnostic modalities in countries
with less equipped health infrastructures. It is more commonly diagnosed
at ages over 65 years. Although definite protocols for the management of
Heyde Syndrome have not been defined, it has been observed that
correction of Aortic Stenosis, with medical and endoscopic interventions
for angiodysplasias provides a favorable result3.
