  • Title: Injection therapy for colonic diverticular bleeding. A case study.
    Author: Kim YI, Marcon NE.
    Journal: J Clin Gastroenterol; 1993 Jul; 17(1):46-8. PubMed ID: 8409298.
    Abstract:
    We report a successful colonoscopic identification of acute massive diverticular bleeding in an elderly patient and successful injection therapy with epinephrine. Colonoscopy is a valuable diagnostic tool in acute lower gastrointestinal (LGI) bleeding when the colon can be adequately visualized. Peridiverticular injection therapy should be considered a safe and effective therapeutic option when the bleeding site can be established.
