Hemostasis Achieved Endoscopically for Diverticular Bleeding from the Horizontal Portion of the Duodenum
نویسندگان
چکیده
Diverticulum of the horizontal portion of the duodenum is a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. Since it is difficult to access the horizontal portion of the duodenum by standard upper GI endoscopy, only a very few cases of endoscopic hemostasis have been reported. Herein, we report a case of diverticular bleeding from the horizontal portion of the duodenum for which hemostasis was achieved using a small-caliber colonoscope, which has an insertion part designed with a passive-bending function/high-force transmission and a transparent tip hood.

Duodenal diverticular bleeding has traditionally required invasive surgical repair. With improvements in endoscopic devices, endoscopic treatment has become the main therapy for such bleeding [1,2]. However, the question of which endoscopic devices should be used is still controversial because of complications and recurrent bleeding after treatment [3]. A newly developed device, the overthe-sco...
متن کاملRisk of colonic diverticular rebleeding according to endoscopic appearance
Background and study aims Re-commencement of bleeding (rebleeding) of colonic diverticula after endoscopic hemostasis is a clinical problem. This study aimed to examine whether endoscopic visibility of colonic diverticular bleeding affects the risk of rebleeding after endoscopic hemostasis. Patients and methods We performed a retrospective review of endoscopic images and medical charts of p...
متن کاملSuccessful use of Hemospray to control refractory duodenal diverticular bleeding.
A 78-year-old woman, on rivaroxaban medication because of atrial fibrillation, was referred to our department with upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Emergency esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed multiple duodenal diverticula with oozing bleeding from inside a large diverticulum near the papilla (●" Fig.1 and●" Fig.2). Because of the location, clips were not applicable, hence injection of e...

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...

AIM To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a modified cyanoacrylate [N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate associated with methacryloxysulfolane (NBCA + MS)] to treat non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (NV-UGIB). METHODS In our retrospective study we took into account 579 out of 1177 patients receiving endoscopic treatment for NV-UGIB admitted to our institution from 2008 to 2015; the remaining 5...
