It was reported that the web sl device was detached with a controller after checking fitting condition with an aneurysm.After detachment, the web migrated and protruded to the parent vessel.To protect the parent vessel, a stent was attempted to be implanted, but an sl-10 microcatheter (stryker) was difficult to be advanced.Therefore, the marker of the web was captured with a snare (4mm) to retrieve the web.The web was replaced with another web sl (4mm, 3mm) to continue the procedure, and the procedure was successfully completed.
