title: Pulmonary artery size and flow disturbances after patent ductus arteriosus coil occlusion.
abstract: 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.
