Traditional white-light imaging has limitations in detecting lesions, particularly those with flat morphology or minimal color contrast with the surrounding mucosa. It also struggles to distinguish neoplastic from non-neoplastic lesions. These limitations led to the development of image-enhanced endoscopy (IEE).

Endoscopic submucosal dissection requires accurate prediction of invasion depth; however, IEE mainly reflects superficial features.

To date, diagnostic evaluations have mostly included indirect gastroscopy and abdominal computed tomography.

This review summarizes the latest findings regarding CDB epidemiology and endoscopic hemostasis. Recent data show that CDB has become the most common cause of lower gastrointestinal bleeding in Japan, driven by an aging population and the increased use of antithrombotic medications. Although 70%–90% of patients achieve spontaneous hemostasis, rebleeding occurs in up to 35% of cases within 1 year. Despite an overall mortality rate of < 1%, patients with CDB can present with hypovolemic shock and may require urgent intervention. There are no effective pharmacological treatments for controlling CDB. Therefore, endoscopic therapy plays a crucial role in its management. Based on available evidence, both clipping and endoscopic band ligation are considered effective initial treatments. Recent studies indicate that direct clipping reduces early rebleeding compared with indirect clipping, while endoscopic band ligation achieves lower rebleeding rates (13%–15%) than clipping. The choice between direct clipping and endoscopic band ligation depends on the diverticulum location and the presence of active bleeding. Newer techniques, such as over-the-scope clip and self-assembling peptide application, have shown potential, but require further study. The detection of the bleeding source remains challenging because accurate identification is essential for successful hemostasis.
