Abstract
A 64-year-old woman with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) characterized by a pathological variant in ACVRL1 presents to the clinic for follow-up. Manifestations of HHT include frequent epistaxis and gastrointestinal bleeding, leading to iron-deficiency anemia. Bevacizumab is initiated, with resolution of the anemia. While maintained on a regimen of bevacizumab every 6 weeks, she continues to report frequent epistaxis and has ongoing iron-deficiency requiring periodic iron infusions. She also finds the bevacizumab infusions inconvenient. She is interested in discussing other options for managing her disease.
