    Abstract:
    Simultaneous transcatheter coil occlusion of patent ductus arteriosus and balloon angioplasty of coarctation of aorta is avoided since intimal tearing after angioplasty is believed to increase the risk for dissection of the aorta during catheter manipulation. We report a 14-month-old boy, with weight of 7.6 kg, with aortic coarctation and patent ductus arteriosus with a large left-to-right shunt who underwent successful simultaneous balloon angioplasty of native coarctation and coil embolization of the patent ductus arteriosus. Coarctation gradient decreased from 30 to 4 mmHg after balloon angioplasty and complete occlusion of the ductus arteriosus was achieved without any complication.
