Diverticular bleeding.
Diverticular bleeding is a common cause of lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Patients typically present with massive and painless rectal hemorrhage. If bleeding is severe, initial resuscitative measures should include airway maintenance and oxygen supplementation, followed by measurement of hemoglobin and hematocrit levels, and blood typing and crossmatching. Patients may need intravenous flui...
متن کاملRare Jejunal Diverticular Bleeding
Severe gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) secondary to jejunal diverticulosis (JD) is very rare. Delay in establishing a diagnosis is common and GIB from JD is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We report an illustrative case diagnosed by push enteroscopy and managed with surgery.
متن کاملIs there an optimal technique to treat the bleeding diverticulum? Is diverticular bleeding a recurrent disease?
Colonic diverticular bleeding is the most common cause of lower gastrointestinal bleeding in adults [1,2]. Bleeding can occur from an injured branch of the submucosal plexus vessels at the neck or along the dome of the diverticulum [3]. While the majority (approximately 80%) of bleeding is self-limited, some patients can develop massive bleeding–perhaps because the submucosal plexus is derived ...
متن کاملAssociation between the Risk Factors for Atherosclerosis and Diverticular Bleeding
Background and purpose: Diverticulosis is a major health problem in middle-aged and older adults. The cause of bleeding in the diverticulum is not clear, but arteriolar changes are considered as the main pathogenesis of diverticular bleeding. This study aimed at investigating the relationship between the risk factors for atherosclerosis and diverticular bleeding. Materials and methods: In this...
متن کاملEndoscopic Management of Diverticular Bleeding
Diverticular hemorrhage is the most common reason for lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) with substantial cost of hospitalization and a median length of hospital stay of 3 days. Bleeding usually is self-limited in 70-80% of cases but early rebleeding is not an uncommon problem that can be reduced with proper endoscopic therapies. Colonoscopy is recommended as first-line diagnostic and thera...
