- A 62-year-old man with cirrhosis and chronic kidney failure was diagnosed with GAVE after experiencing recurrent bloody stool and undergoing argon plasma coagulation, which ultimately failed to control his anemia.
- After receiving over 40 units of blood, the medical team opted for distal gastrectomy with Billroth II reconstruction, resulting in the patient being anemia-free for over a year post-surgery.
