Abstract:
Ninety-seven of 100 patients had a successful attempt at coil closure of the patent ductus arteriosus. For all 46 patients in whom a single coil and in 47 patients in whom multiple coils were placed, there was immediate complete closure that persisted at a median follow-up period of 1.9 years.
