Aortic stenosis is the most prevalent valvular disease, characterized by obstruction of blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta. It typically presents with the classic cardiovascular triad of angina, dyspnea, and syncope. However, in certain cases, such as Heyde syndrome, it can present multisystem manifestations, affecting the gastrointestinal and hematological systems, leading to a diagnostic challenge. In this context, this case report discusses a patient with aortic stenosis, acquired von Willebrand syndrome, and gastrointestinal angiodysplasias, in which the diagnosis was confirmed with echocardiogram and endoscopy and the definitive treatment was replacement of the aortic valve.
