Endoscopic mucosal resection for recurrent gastric antral vascular ectasia

Abstract: Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is an overt or occult source of gastrointestinal bleeding. Despite several therapeutic approaches have been successfully tested for preventing chronic bleeding, some patients present recurrence of GAVE lesions. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first case, of a 86-year-old woman who presented severe iron-deficiency anemia due to GAVE and showed recurrence of GAVE lesion despite the intensive argon plasma coagulation treatment. We performed endoscopic mucosal res… Show more

“…Las terapias endoscópicas, iniciadas en 1980, son las más recomendadas pues han demostrado efi cacia y seguridad, incluyendo diferentes técnicas (electrocoagulación, APC, escleroterapia, ligadura endoscópica), incluso se publicó un caso de resección mucosa de la EVA, con éxito y mejoría de la anemia 13 .…”

“…Los trabajos realizados con APC muestran una reducción de la necesidad de transfusión en hasta 77% durante un seguimiento de 16 meses, siendo endoscópicamente satisfactoria hasta en 80 a 90% de los casos [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] .…”

“…72 Endoscopic mucosectomy has also been performed, but this requires further study. 73 Lastly, surgical antrectomy has been used for refractory GAVE and may be considered in otherwise well compensated cirrhotic patients with refractory bleeding who are surgical candidates. 74,75 A treatment algorithm for patients with GAVE is described in Figure 4.…”

À ce jour, c'est essentiellement à la coagulation par plasma-argon [4,7,8,24,26,32,[35][36][37] qu'il est fait appel même si, pour parvenir à tarir la dé perdition sanguine, elle doit être souvent ré pé té e du fait de la diffusion des lé sions, comme chez notre patient, avec un intervalle de 4 à 8 semaines, sans exposer à d'importantes complications [8,31]. La gestion des ectasies par radiofré quence pourrait en devenir une alternative inté ressante [38].…”
