title: Effect of multiple coil closure of patent ductus arteriosus on blood flow to the left lung as determined by lung perfusion scans.
abstract: Lung perfusion scans reveal that multiple-coil closure of the ductus does not interfere with pulmonary blood flow. However, caution is necessary when placing multiple coils in small infants.
