We evaluated the immediate and intermediate follow-up results of transcatheter closure (TCC) of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) using Gianturco coils in children weighing F10 kg. The results of PDA I2.5 mm (group I, n β«Ψβ¬ 18) and G2.5 mm (group II, n β«Ψβ¬ 16) were compared. Coils were deployed sequent
## Abstract A 21βyearβold female developed severe unremitting intravascular hemolysis following closure of a large patent ductus arteriosus using an Amplatzer duct occluder. Percutaneous deployment of fibered platinum coils within the nitinol wire cage of the Amplatzer duct occluder abolished the r
