Overview
Natural History
The natural history of angiodysplasia in asymptomatic people is benign and the risk of bleeding is low. Therefore, incidentally found lesions should not be treated.
Complications
- Anemia
- Death from excessive blood loss
- Side effects from treatment
- Severe loss of blood from the GI tract
Prognosis
Patients who have bleeding related to this condition despite having had colonoscopy, angiography, or surgery are likely to have more bleeding in the future. The outlook remains good if the bleeding is controlled.
