  • Title: Supplemental embolization coil implantation for closure of patent ductus arteriosus in a beagle dog.
    Author: Tanaka R, Nagashima Y, Hoshi K, Yamane Y.
    Journal: J Vet Med Sci; 2001 May; 63(5):557-9. PubMed ID: 11411503.
    Abstract:
    Embolization coil for the occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) was inserted in a beagle dog diagnosed as PDA with systolic murmur. Residual shunt was observed three months postoperatively and then supplemental coil was inserted. In the past only one coil was required for the closure of PDA in our cases with good post-operative results. In this case, however, the largest coil presently available (8 mm in diameter with 5 loops) was inadequate to make sufficient closure within 3 months postoperatively and supplemental coil insertion was necessary to produce a successful occlusion.
