Immediate Echocardiographic Surveillance After Transcatheter Closure of a Patent Ductus Arteriosus: A Feasible Method to Assess Residual Shunt

Immediate Echocardiographic Surveillance After Transcatheter Closure of a Patent Ductus Arteriosus: A Feasible Method to Assess Residual Shunt

To evaluate the feasibility of echocardiography after transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) with coils. Methods: Between April 1998 and December 2006, 131 patients had transcatheter coil occlusion of their PDA using Gianturco coils. We hypothesized that post-procedural hemolysis wo...
