The altered bleed and the black stool could be because of an Upper GI Bleed. The occlusion in her artery is a different pathology and is most likely to be unrelated to the upper gi bleed.
Next Steps
Needs further evaluation. Upper Gi Endoscopy and Capsule endoscopy along with evaluation of the vascular thrombus.
