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 implan tation of a coil. It should be emphasized that early thrombus formation is important for successful closure of PDA shunt using coil. (C) 2000 Wiley-Li ss, Inc.
