Utility of red dichromatic imaging for identifying the bleeding point in endoscopic hemostasis of colonic diverticular bleeding
An 82-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of hematochezia without pain. She had been admitted to our hospital several times in the previous year for colonic diverticular bleeding (CDB) and had already undergone multiple hemostatic treatments for the CDB. A previous plain computed tomography scan had showed multiple colonic diverticula in the ascending colon and sigmoid colon (Fig. 1), so recurrent colonic diverticular hemorrhage was the primary differential diagnosis.Endoscopic treatment of colonic diverticular bleeding with an over-the-scope clip after failure of endoscopic band ligation
An 86-year-old woman with a history of hypertension and colonic diverticular bleeding (CDB) presented with severe hematochezia to a nearby medical institution. Contrast-enhanced CT identified extravasation in the sigmoid colon (Fig. 1). Emergency colonoscopy revealed an active diverticular hemorrhage in the sigmoid colon. Although an endoclip was placed on the responsible diverticulum, active bleeding persisted. She was then referred to the emergency department of our hospital.
