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.Red dichromatic imaging in peroral endoscopic myotomy: a novel image-enhancing technique
A 40-year-old man presented with a 1-year history of difficulty in swallowing liquids and solids. His Eckhart’s score was 6 of 12. EGD showed dilated esophagus with liquid stasis and mild resistance noted across the gastroesophageal junction. Esophageal manometry showed elevated integrated relaxation pressure with panesophageal pressurization (achalasia cardia type II). Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) was planned and was performed using the novel Evis X1 endoscopy (Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) system.
