We report on 5 patients who developed hemolysis (the Hemolysis group) following coil occlusion for PDA, and compare their data to 66 cases which were not complicated by hemolysis despite residual leak (the No Hemolysis group). A significant leak with a heart murmur was more frequent in the Hemolysis
