Abstract:

Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is a vascular malformation of unknown cause, characterized by strip or diffuse telangiectasia of gastric antral mucosa, which is usually diagnosed by gastroscopy. The main clinical manifestations are iron deficiency anemia and recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding. The major treatment of GAVE includes pharmacotherapy, endoscopy and surgery. Currently, no consensus has been reached on the management of GAVE. Recently, thalidomide and bevacizumab, as well as endoscopic ligation and radiofrequency ablation have been increasingly used in the management of GAVE, preliminarily showing promising results. Therefore, in this review, we reviewed the advances in the treatment of GAVE to provide authoritative clinical references for further treatment.

Key words: Gastric antral vascular ectasia, Upper gastrointestinal bleeding, Endoscopy
