Abstract
Severe mechanical hemolysis ocurred in a 22 month old girl after place ment of a 38-5-10 coil in the arterial duct. She had previously underg one percutaneous closure using the Rashkind technique 14 months before insertion of the coil, but remained with a moderate residual shunt. S urgical removal of the devices and division of the duct were required to abolish the hemolysis.
