Iatrogenic coarctation after coil occlusion of arterial duct.
Coil occlusion of a patent ductus arteriosus was performed in an 8.5-month-old girl with a large left-to-right shunt through a wide arterial duct. Post-occlusion echocardiography revealed iatrogenic obstruction of the aorta caused by protrusion of the loops of the Jackson coil into the descending aorta. The problem resolved spontaneously during follow-up.
