Pulmonary artery size and flow disturbances after patent ductus arteriosus coil occlusion.
Transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus with Gianturco coils may impinge on adjacent vascular structures. The left pulmonary artery relative size may decrease after patent ductus arteriosus coil occlusion; thus, serial follow-up echocardiography is recommended to assess long-term left pulmonary artery growth.
