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
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
