Heyde's syndrome is a clinical entity that combines aortic stenosis, gastrointestinal angiodysplasia, and an acquired von Willebrand factor disorder. This syndrome is characterized by the association between aortic stenosis and recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding episodes, typically linked to angiodysplasias. Effective treatment requires addressing the underlying condition, specifically aortic stenosis, which leads to the structural destruction of coagulation proteins, resulting in the acquired von Willebrand factor disorder and perpetuating the bleeding.

Heyde syndrome is a triad of aortic stenosis (AS), gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding from angiodysplasia, and acquired von Willebrand disease (vWD). It is hypothesized that stenotic aortic valves cleave von Willebrand factor (vWF) multimers, predisposing patients to bleeding from GI angiodysplasias. This hypothesis is supported by the observation that aortic valve replacement often leads to the resolution of GI bleeding.

Importance: Heyde syndrome is the cooccurrence of aortic stenosis and gastrointestinal bleeding secondary to vascular lesions, including angiodysplasias. Several studies have demonstrated cessation of gastrointestinal bleeding after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), but the etiology and effects on vascular lesions are largely unknown.

Objective: To examine the associations of TAVI with gastrointestinal vascular lesions and identify factors associated with recovery among patients with iron deficiency anemia and severe aortic stenosis.

Heyde syndrome, marked by aortic stenosis, gastrointestinal bleeding from angiodysplasia, and acquired von Willebrand syndrome, is often underreported. Shear stress from a narrowed aortic valve degrades von Willebrand factor multimers, leading to angiodysplasia formation and von Willebrand factor deficiency. This case report aims to raise clinician awareness of Heyde syndrome, its complexity, and the need for a multidisciplinary approach.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess changes in hemoglobin levels and kidney function in patients 5-12 months after undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), along with exploring the relationship between these changes.
  • After TAVR, the average hemoglobin level significantly improved, with anemia in patients decreasing from 67.5% to 53.9%, even though there was a slight decline in kidney function.
  • The analysis did not find specific clinical predictors for ongoing anemia post-TAVR, suggesting that TAVR may help reduce gastrointestinal blood loss associated with severe aortic stenosis (AS).
