Brief Summary
Lower gastrointestinal bleeding occurs distal to the ligament of treitz and may involve the small bowel, colon and rectum . Active lower gastrointestinal bleeding is a common, potentially life threatening medical presentation that can be challenging to localize and treat . There are many diseases that may cause lower gastrointestinal bleeding, including angiodysplasia, diverticulosis, benign or malignant bowel neoplasm, inflammatory bowel disease, ischemic bowel disease, and infectious bowel disease. Often, gastrointestinal bleeding will stop spontaneously, but in approximately 25% of patients, bleeding is massive or recurrent, requiring imaging localization and directed therapy.
