A Rare Cause of Life-Threatening Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding
Question: A 66-year-old woman presented to the hospital with large-volume hematemesis and melena. Her past medical history was significant for an episode of native valve infective endocarditis secondary to a skin infection 4 years earlier, with an associated embolic stroke of the left middle cerebral artery. Her daily medications included aspirin and atorvastatin. She denied any intake of other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. She had no history of peptic ulcer disease or liver disease. On arrival to the hospital, the patient ’s blood pressure was 90/60 mm Hg, with a heart rate of 140 beats/min.
