  • Title: Wire coil embolization of systemic-pulmonary artery collaterals following surgical correction of pulmonary atresia.
    Author: Szarnicki R, Krebber HJ, Wack J.
    Journal: J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1981 Jan; 81(1):124-6. PubMed ID: 7453213.
    Abstract:
    This report describes the selective obliteration of large systemic-pulmonary arterial collateral vessels, commonly found in cyanotic congenital disease with severe pulmonary atresia. A transcatheter wire coil embolus technique was used. The relative ease with which these shunt vessels can be occluded, with concomitant decrease in morbidity, is stressed and the importance of a team approach in the perioperative evaluation, angiographic assessment, and eventual therapy of patients with these complex anomalies is emphasized.
