Overview

Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is an uncommon condition leading to recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding. While endoscopic therapy is the preferred treatment option, it has a high recurrence rate. Surgical resection can completely resolve GAVE but is invasive and carries a high risk of complications. This review summarizes the efficacy and side effects of various drugs used to treat GAVE, including octreotide, cyproheptadine, cyclophosphamide, prednisolone, estrogen-progesterone, thalidomide, bevacizumab, and tranexamic acid.
