From: Transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus: review of author's experiences and observations
Figure 21. Chart of subjects who had coil occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus from April 1996 through December 1998. Of the total of thirty-eight patients, five patients were excluded because the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) was closed with two or more coils (in three patients), or with a wire thickness of the coil other than 0.038″ (in two patients). Of the remaining thirty-three subjects, thirty patients were shown to have full closure of the PDA by echo-Doppler study on the day after Gianturco coil placement, and are the subjects of this investigation. Modified from Ref.[69].
