Abstract
Two patients who underwent transcatheter closure of patent ductus arte riosus, one with a Rashkind umbrella device and the other with a coil, suffered from acute hemolysis following the procedure, Hemolysis ceas ed after deployment of second device(s) within 48 hr without needing t o retrieve the first devices in either patient, We conclude that immed iate deployment of a second device(s) is an alternative to surgery whe n acute hemolysis occurs following transcatheter closure of ductus.
