Cardiol Young. 2000 May;10(3):265-7. doi: 10.1017/s1047951100009215.

Abstract

Severe mechanical haemolysis occurred in an 11-month-old boy after implantation of the new Amplatzer duct occluder. Temporary balloon occlusion of the aortic ampulla was performed 4 days after the initial procedure leading to prompt abolition of the haemolysis.
