## 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
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
