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

โฆ Synopsis
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.

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
A case is described in which coarctation of the aorta develops following coil occlusion of a patent ductus arteriosus with a single Gianturco coil. This finding has yet to be reported in children undergoing this procedure and demonstrates the possibility of its occurrence and brings into question th
In response to two case reports that have appeared in this journal [1,2], I would like to make the following comments: The authors state that there is no published report of hemolysis following coil embolization of the ductus arteriosus. This statement is factually incorrect. We have reported a cas
