The authors report a case of a 62-year-old male presenting to the emergency department with hematochezia. Urgent colonoscopy revealed numerous diverticula in the sigmoid colon, two of them inverted. Oozing bleeding from a visible vessel was identified on the top of the most distal inverted diverticulum. An over-the-scope clip was released after suction into the transparent cap and successful hemostasis was achieved.
