Among its main causes, one should highlight esophageal and gastric ulcers ( 2 ). GIB is classified either as upper or lower, depending upon its origin above or below the ligament of Treitz, respectively. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Treatment options: All methods for endoscopic hemostasis can be used even in diverticular bleeding. The treatment should focus on the blood vessel in the button oft he diverticulum if possible. [thieme-connect.com]
It is a widely accessible method, and allows for local treatment and biopsies. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Prognosis: The prognosis of diverticular bleeding is good; up to 92 % stop spontaniously. Due to the frequent disease and the manageable complications a well sophisticated strategy is necessary. [thieme-connect.com]
