Loss of large multimers can be measured as the <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">large von Willebrand factor multimer index<\/span> and it is significant if it is less than 80% [2]. Anemia due to Heyde&#8217;s syndrome improves after aortic valve replacement. The gastrointestinal bleeding due to angiodysplasia though mostly described in severe aortic stenosis, has also been reported in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy [3].<\/p>\n<p>Increased production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) due to reduced pulsatile flow and impaired intestinal flow is thought to be the reason for gastrointestinal angiodysplasias in aortic stenosis. For this reason thalidomide which inhibits the expression of VEGF has been used for treatment of Heyde&#8217;s syndrome [3]. Octreotide which can reduce intestinal blood loss by vasoconstriction in combination with thalidomide may be more beneficial for the initial treatment of Heyde&#8217;s syndrome [3].<\/p>\n<p>Just as Heyde&#8217;s syndrome resolves after aortic valve replacement, it can resolve after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) [4].<br \/>\n<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">References<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Heyde E.
