Persistent hemolysis after transcatheter occlusion of a patent ductus arteriosus: Surgical ligation of the duct over the occlusion device

Abstract

A 14-month-old child underwent routine transcatheter closure of her patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) using the Rashkind double-umbrella device. She developed severe persistent hemolysis in association with residual ductal flow. The problem was managed by the previously unreported approach of standard surgical ligation of the duct via a left thoracotomy, leaving the occlusion device in situ.
