    Twelve patients with angiodysplasia of the gastrointestinal tract were seen at The Mary Imogene Bassett Hospital are presented. Six share the features of gastric or duodenal angiodysplasia, advanced age, and aortic valve disease. Of these 6 patients, 4 who bled repeatedly were treated with endoscopic coagulation of areas of gastric and duodenal angiodysplasia. Six patients with other types of gastrointestinal angiodysplasia are presented for comparison. Two had gastric angiodysplasia and no aortic valve disease, 2 had hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, 1 had received irradiation, and 1 could not be classified. We suggest that angiodysplasia of the gastrointestinal tract can be regarded as a spectrum with a clearly inherited etiology on one extreme and an acquired etiology on the other. A subset of these patients may be associated with aortic valve disease. Angiodysplasia of the upper gastrointestinal tract may account for a significant fraction of previously unexplained bleeding. It is hoped that this paper will aid in their more frequent recognition.
