Retrieval of an embolization coil accidentally dislodged in the descending aorta of a dog with a patent ductus arteriosus

چکیده
A 3.5-year-old intact female miniature poodle (weighing 2.7 kg) was referred to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital at Kangwon National University, because of inadvertent aortic embolization, by an occlusion coil used for the closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). The coil was found at the site of the branching renal arteries in the abdominal aorta. A foreign body forceps with a three-wire nail tip was used, with fluoroscopic guidance, to retrieve the coil. After the removal, the dog was treated with heparin to prevent thromboembolization.

Transcatheter occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus with Gianturco coils.
BACKGROUND Transcatheter occlusion with Gianturco coils has been attempted in a small number of patients with tiny (< or = 1.5-mm diameter) patent ductus arteriosus, and preliminary results have been encouraging. The present study extends this method to larger ductus sizes and makes recommendations for proper coil size selection. METHODS AND RESULTS Coil occlusion was attempted in 24 consecut...

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a persistent patency of a vessel normally present in the fetus that connects the pulmonary arterial system to the aorta. The ductus arteriosus fails to close at birth when breathing commences and placental blood circulation is removed. Closure of the ductus arteriosus arises in response to decline pulmonary vascular resistance and increased systemic vascular re...

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is an open communication between the upper descending thoracic aorta and the proximal left pulmonary artery, which results from persistence of the fetal ductus arteriosus. It may be isolated or occur with other congenital cardiac anomalies. Aneurysms of the ductus arteriosus are rare lesions which may occur as a spontaneous. infantile fonn or occur in later c...
متن کاملSuccessful transcatheter balloon dilatation of coarctation of aorta and coil occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus in a single catheterization procedure.
Simultaneous transcatheter coil occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus and balloon angioplasty of coarctation of aorta is avoided since intimal tearing after angioplasty is believed to increase the risk for dissection of the aorta during catheter manipulation. We report a 14-month-old boy, with weight of 7.6 kg, with aortic coarctation and patent ductus arteriosus with a large left-to-right shun...
