  • Title: Thalidomide in angiodysplasia-related bleeding.
    Author: Boey JP, Hahn U, Sagheer S, McRae SJ.
    Journal: Intern Med J; 2015 Sep; 45(9):972-6. PubMed ID: 26332623.
    Abstract:
    Gastrointestinal haemorrhage from angiodysplastic lesions is not only difficult to identify, but often refractory to endoscopic intervention. Patients often require substantial transfusion support. Thalidomide has emerged as a promising medical strategy in angiodysplasia-related bleeding. We present our experience and report the findings from a review of the literature. Despite its side-effect profile, thalidomide remains the therapeutic modality with the best evidence in this difficult clinical scenario.
