[Severe mechanical hemolysis after incomplete ductus arteriosus closure: implantation of a second Rashkind occluder].
A 72 year-old female patient with a persistent ductus arteriosus suffered from a severe mechanical hemolysis after incomplete PDA closure with a Rashkind occluder. The residual shunt was closed with a second occluder 2 days later. Hemolysis was stopped immediately; complete closure of the duct was confirmed by color Doppler 6 weeks and 6 months later.
