Colonoscopy effectively identifies acute massive diverticular bleeding in elderly patients. Epinephrine injection therapy is a safe and effective treatment when the bleeding source is visualized during the procedure.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopy
  • Interventional Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Acute lower gastrointestinal (LGI) bleeding presents a significant clinical challenge, particularly in elderly populations.
  • Diverticular bleeding is a common cause of acute LGI hemorrhage.

Observation:

  • Colonoscopy enabled precise identification of massive diverticular bleeding in an elderly patient.
  • The bleeding site was successfully visualized and targeted for intervention.

Findings:

  • Successful endoscopic identification of acute massive diverticular bleeding.
  • Effective hemostasis achieved through peridiverticular injection therapy with epinephrine.

Implications:

  • Colonoscopy is a crucial diagnostic modality for acute LGI bleeding when visualization is adequate.
