title: Late coil migration due to thrombolysis after successful implantation of a coil for persistent ductus arteriosus.
abstract: Transcatheter coil occlusion of persistent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is now a widely accepted treatment for PDA. However, late complication might occur due to thrombolytic treatment during the interventional period. We discuss a case with late coil migration due to thrombolysis after successful implantation of a coil. It should be emphasized that early thrombus formation is important for successful closure of PDA shunt using coil.
