Aortic Bioprosthetic Stenosis Leading to Heyde Syndrome
Recurrent episodes of idiopathic anemia in patients with a prosthetic valve should raise concern for HS. Clinicians with a high suspicion of HS and negative esophagogastroduodenoscopy/colonoscopy should pursue capsule endoscopy or push enteroscopy to fully assess the small bowel. A normal von Willebrand factor in isolation should not rule out HS.
