Severe hemolysis following partial coil-occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus.
Severe hemolysis occurred in a one-year-old boy following partial coil occlusion of a patent ductus arteriosus with a small but high-velocity residual shunt. Hemolysis abated rapidly and completely after placement of a second coil fully occluded the ductus.
