Refractory gastric antral vascular ectasia: a new endoscopic approach.

Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation for APC refractory gastric antral vascular ectasia using the HALO90 system in a kidney transplant candidate.

Computed virtual chromoendoscopy - enhanced videocapsule endoscopy is of potential benefit in gastric antral vascular ectasia syndrome refractory to endoscopic treatment.

Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) syndrome represents a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. More extensive small-bowel involvement must be excluded in those patients with GAVE syndrome in whom aggressive endoscopic treatment of antral lesions results in lack of control of digestive bleeding, and for this subset of patients videocapsule endoscopy examination should be considered. Howev...

Radiofrequency ablation for treatment of refractory gastric antral vascular ectasia (with video)

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is a known cause of gastrointestinal bleeding and chronic iron deficiency anemia. Endoscopic therapy with argon plasma coagulation (APC) is widely used for treatment of GAVE, but most patients continue to require repeated blood transfusions and multiple endoscopic procedures (refractory GAVE). We describe our initial experience re...

Endoscopic Treatment for Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia: Current Options.

Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is a capillary-type vascular malformation located primarily in the gastric antrum. Patients can present with iron-deficiency anemia, overt gastrointestinal bleeding, or both. Diagnosis and characterization is made at endoscopic examination, and the preferred management of patients with GAVE is endoscopic therapy. Herein, we present a review of the evidence...
