Colonic diverticular bleeding: urgent colonoscopy without purging and endoscopic treatment with epinephrine and hemoclips

Abstract: Diverticular disease is the most frequent cause of lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Most of the times, bleeding stops without any intervention but in 10-20 % of the cases it is necessary to treat the hemorrhage. Several modalities of endoscopic treatment have been described after purging the colon. We present five cases of severe diverticular bleeding treated with injection of epinephrine and hemoclips. All the colonoscopies were performed without purging of the colon in an emergency setting, with correct visu… Show more

“…This is lower than the rates reported in a previous systematic review and meta-analysis [25], with rates of 19 % for clipping and 21 % for thermal contact, which were similar to that for EBL (9 %). The early rebleeding rates of patients treated with endoclips were previously reported to be between 0 % and 50 %, which is a wide range [13,17,18,[26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. We speculate that these differences in early rebleeding rates following endoclips depend on whether endoclips are placed directly on vessels.…”

“…Finally, the risk of bowel infarction after TAE has been reported 13% to 33% of patients. 11 Heianna et al 10 proposed a colonoscopy-guided superselective arterial embolization for patients in whom endoscopic treatment was not effective. In these cases, some radiopaque clips were placed at the bleeding site during colonoscopy to mark the embolization site for the subsequent angiography.…”

“…In the present review, 10 reports were selected [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] to avoid overlapping cases among papers published from the same hospitals (Table 2). Primary hemostasis was achieved in 83-100% of cases, with an average of 97% in 383 cases treated by endoscopic clipping.…”
