Different treatments exist for this kind of pathology.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Methods: The aim of this work was to study 40 patients treated for intestinal angiodysplasia with two different kind of endoscopic treatments: argon plasma coagulation (APC) and bipolar electrocoagulation (BEC).<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: Age of patients was similar in both groups (76,2 \u00b1 10.8 years vs 74,8 \u00b1 8,7 years, P = 0,005). Angiodysplasia treated were located in small bowel, right colon, left colon, transverse colon and cecum. We analysed number of treatment, recurrence, hospital discharge, needs of blood transfusions before and after endoscopic treatment. Number of treatment was the same in both groups (1,2 \u00b1 0,2 vs 1,1 \u00b1 0,1, P &lt; 0,001). We had more recurrence in patients treated with BEC (4\/20 vs 2\/20, P &lt; 0,001). Hospital discharge was comparable in both groups (5,3 \u00b1 3,1 days vs 5,4 \u00b1 2,8 years, P &lt; 0.001)<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Conclusions: Treatment of angiodysplasia in elderly is not easy. Different kinds of treatment could be adopted. APC and BEC are both safe and effective. The choice of a treatment should consider several factors: age, comorbidity, source of bleeding. In conclusion we think that treatment of bleeding for angiodysplasia in elder population should be a tailored treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/med-2015-0091","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,20]],"date-time":"2017-03-20T17:54:27Z","timestamp":1490032467000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Tailored treatment of intestinal angiodysplasia in elderly"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Rita","family":"Compagna","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine and Surgery, University of Naples \u201cFederico II\u201d Via S.
