Severe hemolysis occurred in a one-year-old boy following partial coil occlusion of a patent ductus arteriosus with a small but high-velocity residual shunt. Hemolysis abated rapidly and completely after placement of a second coil fully occluded the ductus.

โฆ Synopsis
We describe the development of hemolysls from moderate residual shunting across a patent ductus arteriosus following coil embollzatlon. 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 hemolysls. Therefore, appearance of anemia following coil embolization of patent ductus arteriosus should be monitored closely; however, repeat coil embolizatlon with elimination of residual shunt will lead to prompt recovery of normal hernoglobin levels.

A case is described in which coarctation of the aorta develops following coil occlusion of a patent ductus arteriosus with a single Gianturco coil.

## 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
The Gianturco spring coil has been employed in the setting of the small arterial duct and for reocclusion of residual shunts; the ability to manipulate the coil is advantageous for optimal results. This case study reports an associated complication of unraveling of the coil. Careful attention to coi
