  • Title: [Colonic hemorrhage caused by vascular dysplasia. Surgical treatment].
    Author: Carolo F, Dagradi V, Piccinelli D, Lolli P, Delaini GG, Merico G.
    Journal: Chir Ital; 1987 Jun; 39(3):274-83. PubMed ID: 3498554.
    Abstract:
    On the basis of their own clinical experience and the data provided in the literature, the authors examine the question of the surgical therapy of the two main dysplastic diseases of the colon, i.e. colonic angiodysplasia and angiomatosis. While the larger cavernous angiomas necessarily call for surgery, large-bowel angiodysplasia and capillary angiomas, which are disease falling primarily within the internist's sphere of competence, may be treated conservatively, when symptomatic, by endoscopic electrocoagulation, though a surgical approach may be contemplated in that small percentage of cases presenting coagulopathy or frequent, intense haemorrhages with a severe anaemic tendency.
