[Recurrent profuse hemorrhage in gastric angiodysplasia].

Dieulafoy's disease--i.e. arteriovenous malformation--is a rare cause of gastric bleedings, which makes up 1.5-3% of all sources of hemorrhage. All the armory of diagnostic modalities may require to reveal arteriovenous malformations. Angiography of the stomach appeared to be the most informative method for diagnosis of this disease in 2 patients. Radical treatment of patients with Dieulafoy's disease implies resection of the proximal part of the stomach or gastrectomy. Endoscopic hemostasis (with the use of coagulation and injections of sclerogenous preparations around the diseased area) results in temporary effect.
