These advances are helpful to clinicians approaching gastrointestinal blood loss, especially in the small bowel. The authors report a case of a man who presented to the emergency department with obscure gastrointestinal blood loss. Results of an esophagogastroduodenoscopy and a colonoscopy suggested the source of the blood loss was within the small bowel. On an outpatient basis, the patient underwent video capsule endoscopy, which revealed scattered distal duodenal arteriovenous malformations. He then underwent oral double balloon endoscopy with ablation of the arteriovenous malformations, with no further bleeding or drop in hemoglobin. hemoglobin.
