Abstract
A case of chronic gastrointestinal hemorrhage caused by a small jejuna l arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is reported. Treatment by endovascu lar embolization was temporarily successful. Subsequently, the patient underwent laparoscopic resection, guided by intraoperative catheter l ocalization with methylene blue. Histopathology confirmed a true AVM. Eighteen months after treatment, the patient is free of symptoms. Lite rature of jejunal AVMs is reviewed.
