Abstract
Diverticular hemorrhage is the most common cause of lower gastrointestinal bleeding in Westernized cultures. Fortunately, the majority of diverticular bleeds will spontaneously resolve; however, 20% of patients will require therapeutic interventions to obtain hemostasis. The diagnostic and therapeutic options for the management of diverticular hemorrhage are discussed.Entities:
