title: Single therapeutic catheterization to treat coexisting coarctation of the aorta and patent ductus arteriosus.
abstract: A case of a pediatric patient found to have coexisting coarctation of the aorta and patent ductus arteriosus who underwent balloon dilation of the coarctation and coil occlusion of the ductus in a single cardiac catheterization is presented. Review of the English literature revealed no previous reports of this combination of transcatheter interventions during a single catheterization procedure.
