Endoscopic management of a bleeding Zenker's diverticulum: A case report

This is the first Australian case report of bleeding from a Zenker's diverticulum who underwent successful endoscopic management. It highlights the diagnostic dilemma presented by this clinical entity and the subsequent impacts on management. Endoscopic haemostasis is an ideal intervention either as a definitive procedure in elderly patients unfit for surgery, or initial management as a bridge to surgery.

Abstract

This is the first Australian case report of bleeding from a Zenker's diverticulum who underwent successful endoscopic management. It highlights the diagnostic dilemma presented by this clinical entity and the subsequent impacts on management. Endoscopic haemostasis is an ideal intervention either as a definitive procedure in elderly patients unfit for surgery, or initial management as a bridge to surgery.
