abstract={Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE)  is a vascular malformation that causes upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). It is often discovered incidentally, and it is usually secondary to iron deficiency anemia due to chronic blood loss. Diagnosis of this pathology is primarily done by endoscopy, with direct visualization of the lesions. Multiple treatment options including medical, endoscopic, or surgical are available. We describe a case of a 69-year-old lady who presented with symptomatic anemia and who was found to have Gastric antral vascular ectasia on endoscopy.},
