Combined use of detachable coil against persistent mechanical hemolysis after transcatheter occlusion using Rashkind umbrella device in adult patient with patent ductus arteriosus.
Mechanical hemolysis after transcatheter occlusion of the patent ductus arteriosus using the Rashkind umbrella device has been postulated as a rare, but serious complication, even necessitating surgical repair. A rare, case of an adult patient with massive hemolytic anemia, successfully controlled by the combined use of several detachable coil devices is reported. The use of coil devices might be considered as a therapeutic option in such cases.
