Abstract
-
Severe hemolysis occurred after transcatheter occlusion of a patent ductus arteriosus in
3 patients among 41 patients who underwent transcatheter occlusion of a patent ductus
arteriosus. The problems were managed by a standard surgical ligation of the duct, leaving
the occlusion device(the Rashkind umbrella and a detachable coil) in situ in one patient,
surgical removal of the detachable coil and division of the duct in another and abated with
supportive care in the other.
