The clinical course of GAVE is not well-known, and recurrent bleeding from GAVE is a therapeutic challenge. Therefore, we investigated the clinical course of GAVE and identified the risk factors for bleeding from it.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients diagnosed with GAVE using upper GI endoscopy at Asan Medical Center between January 2004 and December 2019 and evaluated the clinical course and risk factors for bleeding from GAVE.Results: Of the 348 patients (mean age, 62.3 \u00b1 10.7 years; male, 62%), bleeding from GAVE occurred in 123 (35%) patients during follow-up (median, 17.3 months; interquartile range [IQR], 4.2\u201346.6). GI bleeding from GAVE was significantly associated with Child\u2013Pugh class B or C liver cirrhosis (odds ratio [OR], 2.55; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.57\u20134.16), chronic kidney disease (CKD) (OR, 2.77; 95% CI, 1.52\u20135.07), use of antithrombotic agents (OR, 2.34; 95% CI, 1.13\u20134.82), and involvement of the duodenal bulb (OR, 3.21; 95% CI, 1.76\u20135.86). Rebleeding occurred in 39 of 123 patients (32%), in whom CKD (OR, 2.55; 95% CI, 1.12\u20135.81) was significantly associated with rebleeding. Endoscopic hemostasis was most commonly performed using argon plasma coagulation, and the median number of endoscopic hemostasis performed was 2 (IQR, 1\u20133).Conclusions: A careful follow-up for bleeding is needed in GAVE patients with liver cirrhosis, CKD, use of antithrombotic agents, and duodenal bulb involvement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3904\/kjim.2024.380","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,2]],"date-time":"2026-01-02T08:32:08Z","timestamp":1767342728000},"page":"74-84","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3904\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Risk factors for bleeding from gastric antral vascular ectasia"],"prefix":"10.3904","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Sung Hyun","family":"Cho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jinyoung","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6764-9099","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Hee Kyong","family":"Na","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ji Yong","family":"Ahn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jeong Hoon","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kee Wook","family":"Jung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Do Hoon","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kee Don","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ho June","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gin Hyug","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hwoon-Yong","family":"Jung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2270","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0016-5085(95)90018-7"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004836-199210000-00019"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0016-5085(84)80080-3"},{"key":"ref4","first-page":"1333","volume-title":"Diffuse gastric antral vascular ectasia: the \"watermelon stomach\" revisited","author":"B\u00f6rsch","year":"1987"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0002-9270(98)00152-x"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2004-814112"},{"key":"ref7","first-page":"154","volume-title":"Estrogen\/progesterone treatment of diffuse antral vascular ectasia","author":"Manning","year":"1995"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s1590-8658(01)80087-6"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5946\/ce.2020.236"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2002-25287"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.dld.2003.11.028"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2003-44594"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-2007-1004159"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gie.2008.02.009"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.14218\/jcth.2015.00031"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mge.2001.113922"},{"key":"ref17","first-page":"1","volume-title":"Surgery and portal hypertension","author":"Child","year":"1964"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.1800600817"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/meg.0b013e32830e491c"},{"key":"ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/gut.34.4.558"},{"key":"ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1515\/jtim-2017-0019"},{"key":"ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2215\/cjn.09260913"},{"key":"ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15403\/jgld-804"},{"key":"ref24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1172\/jci112736"},{"key":"ref25","first-page":"199","volume-title":"Hemostatic alterations during continuous venovenous hemofiltration in acute renal failure","author":"Stefanidis","year":"1996"},{"key":"ref26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/nmo.13554"},{"key":"ref27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/ajkd.2000.16195"},{"key":"ref28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11894-018-0644-7"},{"key":"ref29","first-page":"750","volume-title":"Gastric antral vascular ectasia.
