“…A calibre persistent artery (CPA) is a primary arterial branch, which penetrates into submucosal tissue without reduction in its diameter (Lewis, 2003;Kocyigit et al, 2006). This vascular anomaly has been described in the stomach and jejunum with different names including submucosal arterial malformation, Dieulafoy disease, cirsoid aneurysm, and exulceratio simplex (Varga et al, 1986;Vazquez et al, 2005;Scudiere et al, 2006).…”
