## Abstract The use of Gianturco coils (Cook, Inc., Bloomington, IN) has been recently described as a method of occluding restrictive patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Precise control of the coil during positioning or withdrawal is difficult. We designed an inexpensive and readily available system to

Jackson screwing detachable coils, developed for arterial and venous embolization, have been successfully employed recently for the percutaneous occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Special screwing detachable coils were designed for closure of the PDA, and the experience gained by their use
We describe our early experience with a new technique involving temporary balloon occlusion for transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) using single or multiple Gianturco coils. Coil occlusion was attempted in 21 patients of median age 3 (range 1-11) years, and angiographic PDA diame
