Transcatheter occlusion of native persistent ductus arteriosus using conventional Gianturco coils

Am J Cardiol. 1997 May 15;79(10):1430-2. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9149(97)00160-4.

Abstract

Two hundred eleven patients with small- to moderate-sized native patent ductus arteriosus underwent closure using Gianturco coils, employing the transvenous multiple catheter approach. Short-term results showed a high rate of complete occlusion and a potential long-term complication of mild left pulmonary artery stenosis in a small number of patients.
