Successful endovascular coil embolization of large pseudoaneurysm of ductus arteriosus diverticulum

Hemolysis following coil embolization of a patent ductus arteriosus.

We describe the development of hemolysis from moderate residual shunting across a patent ductus arteriosus following coil embolization. The fall in hemoglobin levels from 11.6 to 6.0 gm/dl necessitated a second coil procedure which resulted in complete closure of the residual shunting and resolution of hemolysis. Therefore, appearance of anemia following coil embolization of patent ductus arter...

Closure of Small Patent Ductus Arteriosus by Occluding Detachable Coil

Reopening after successful coil occlusion for patent ductus arteriosus.

OBJECTIVES This study was performed to determine the frequency of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) reopening and the factors that may predict reopening after successful coil occlusion. BACKGROUND Transcatheter coil occlusion is a widely used and accepted method to close a PDA. After documented successful coil occlusion, we found PDAs that reopened. We hypothesized that specific factors are invo...

Spring coil retraction in coil occlusion of persistent ductus arteriosus.

AIMS To present the short and intermediate term results of coil occlusion of persistent ductus arteriosus and the results of radiographic measurements of spring coils implanted to treat patent ducts. PATIENTS 22 children underwent coil occlusion. Their ages ranged from 2 years 9 months to 12 years 10 months (mean (SD) age, 6.5 (3.6) years). The duct diameter ranged from 1.0 to 3.5 mm at the n...
