Bu nedenle, gastrointestinal kanaması olan hastalarda mümkün olduğunca çabuk dışlanmalı ve tedavi edilmelidir. Bu lezyonlar genellikle üst gastrointestinal sistemde ve çoğunlukla midede görülür. Rektumda çok nadirdir. Burada rektal Dieulafoy lezyonunun neden olduğu nadir bir alt gastrointestinal kanama olgusu sunulmuştur.
