Eisenmenger’s syndrome is defined as an irreversible increase in pulmonary vascular resistance and is characterized by right-to-left shunt at the connection point of the pulmonary and systemic circulations. Congenital heart defects including atrial septal defect may result in Eisenmenger’s syndrome. Multiple hemostatic abnormalities have been described in patients with congenital heart disease who have cyanosis or pulmonary hypertension due to dysfunction of pulmonary vascular endothelium. In the literature, the association of bleeding diathesis with pulmonary hypertension has been previously reported. In this report, we present a case of recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding in a 54-year-old man with Eisenmenger’s syndrome secondary to atrial septal defect.
