  • Title: Interventional cardiac catheterization therapy for combined coarctation of the aorta and patent ductus arteriosus: successful outcome in two infants.
    Author: Geggel RL, Hijazi ZM, Rhodes J.
    Journal: Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn; 1996 May; 38(1):67-70; discussion 71. PubMed ID: 8722861.
    Abstract:
    We report two infants each with coarctation of the aorta and small patent ductus arteriosus who had balloon angioplasty therapy for aortic obstruction at 3-6 months of age followed by anterograde placement of a single Gianturco coil to close the ductus at a separate catheterization. One infant developed recoarctation that resolved with repeat angioplasty prior to closure of the ductus. Follow-up evaluations have demonstrated a trivial aortic gradient, no aortic aneurysm, and no residual shunt.
