We report a development of severe haemolysis after complete transcatheter closure of patent arterial duct. Aortography and echocardiography revealed no signs of residual shunt. Haemolysis occurred a day after the implantation. Aortography was performed and the extrusion of coil in aorta was evident. The extruded part of the coil was surgically removed. No signs of haemolysis remained.
