Sindromul Heyde. Stenoza aortică, factor de risc pentru sângerarea gastrointestinală | [Heyde syndrome. Aortic stenosis, risk factor for gastrointestinal bleeding]
View through CrossRef
Heyde syndrome is a multisystemic condition characterized by the presence of aortic stenosis, gastrointestinal bleeding, and acquired von Willebrand syndrome. We will present the case of an 81-year-old patient, known with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis, with permanent atrial fibrillation, recurrent pleurisy, and iron deficiency anemic syndrome secondary to upper digestive bleeding corrected with blood transfusions. Evaluation by endoscopy revealed gastric angiodysplasia, so after the complete paraclinical evaluation the diagnosis of Heyde syndrome was established. Valve surgery is the gold standard in the treatment of aortic stenosis associated with Heyde syndrome, the angiodysplasia being reversible after the intervention, and the deficiency of von Willebrand factor multimers is quickly recovered with the decrease of the risk of bleeding.

Sindromul Heyde este o afecțiune multisistemică caracterizată prin prezența stenozei aortice, sângerărilor gastrointestinale și a sindromului von Willebrand dobândit. Vom prezenta cazul unui pacient în vârstă de 81 ani, cunoscut cu stenoză aortică severă simptomatică, cu fibrilație atrială permanentă, pleurezie recidivantă și sindrom anemic feripriv secundar hemoragiei digestive superioare, corectat inclusiv cu preparate de sânge. Evaluarea prin endoscopie a relevat angiodisplazia gastrică, astfel după evaluarea paraclinică completă s-a stabilit diagnosticul de sindrom Heyde. Chirurgia valvulară este standardul de aur în tratamentul stenozei aortice asociată cu sindrom Heyde, angiodisplazia fiind reversibilă, iar deficitul de multimeri de factor von Willebrand este rapid recuperat cu scăderea riscului de sângerare.
