Hospital Course and Significant Findings: 92-year-old female with history of mild cognitive impairment, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, typhlitis type II, A-fib on Pradaxa presented with GI bleed Patient is s/p EGD on 11/28/2023 with no bleeding lesion identified, hemoglobin continue to be stable, underwent colonoscopy 12/1/2023 without active bleeding, polypectomy done, per GI okay to resume Pradaxa on 12/4/2023 Patient had a CT enterography per GI which did not show any obvious reason for GI bleed Patient had a thickened endometrials trip and left adnexal strip on CT enterography, needs outpatient pelvic ultrasound Patient on Pradaxa for A-fib per GI okay to resume on 12/4/2023 as currently ordered.  Risk-benefit was discussed with the patient's daughter, daughters would like to resume patient's anticoagulation to see if she is able to tolerate   Primary Procedures:    EDG Impression 11/28/2023:  No signs of recent or active GI bleeding. Esophagus: -GE junction at 40 CM with mild narrowing.  Able to pass GIF 190 into the stomach with mild resistence. -patchy erythema throughout, biopsies obtained. -1 cm hiatal hernia Stomach: -normal mucosa, no bleeding or other mucosal lesions identified. -GE junction/carida: normal in retroflexion.  Duodenum: bulb and 2nd portion normal  -no bleeding lesions identified.  Overall no significant UGI pathology.  Bleeding may be from lower small bowel or right colon source.    Colonoscopy Impression 12/1/2023:  1. Six 2-7 mm colon polyps removed 2. Moderate sigmoid diverticulosis 3. 2+ internal hemorrhoids 4. Fair prep only, fair to good exam done after washing 5. Otherwise normal colonoscopy to the TI with no old blood in the colon 6. Repeated vasovagal episodes with any colon distension with HR dropping to the low 40s.  Exam somewhat limited as optimal colon distension not done due to repeated vasovagal episodes. 7. Overall, no cause of anemia found on colonoscopy Recommendations:  1. Clears, advance diet as tolerated 2. Await pathology 3. CT enterography     Secondary Procedures: CT ABD PELVIS: Patient Communication     Add Comments   Seen    Impression  Normal CT enterography.      Small jejunal diverticulum present    Colonic diverticulosis without radiographic evidence of diverticulitis.    Thickened endometrial stripe with left adnexal cyst and fluid seen in the perirectal space is present suggesting pelvic disease. Recommend pelvic ultrasound for further evaluation.    Small bilateral lower lobe pleural effusions and consolidations.    1.3 cm pancreatic cyst noted in the head. For asymptomatic patients, imaging follow up can be performed with pancreas protocol MRI/MRCP or pancreas protocol CT in 2 years. Of note, the decision to follow lesions in this age group should be made in conjunction with the patient's overall health status and preferences.  Consider GI referral for symptomatic patients.
