This paper reports a case in which endoscopic hemostasis of a bleeding colonic diverticula was successful with endoscopic hemoclip. The patient, a 53 year-old man with painless hematochezia, was urgently admitted to our institute. After colonic cleaning preparation, colonoscopic examination was performed. At the bottom of the diverticulum of the ascending colon, a vessel with oozing blood was endoscopically noted. Hemoclips were placed on and around the visible vessel and immediate hemostasis was completed. Endoscopic clipping method for management of bleeding diverticular vessel is an effective, simple, and safe procedure.
