Event Description
|
As reported by the field, during a stent assist coil embolization to a m1 segment aneurysm of the left middle cerebral artery and after vascular access was established, the first coil was filled in the aneurysm.When the prowler select plus microcatheter (606s255x, lot unknown) was placed in target position, an enterprise2 4mmx23mm intravascular stent (encr402312, 7332340) was delivered to the microcatheter (mc).After 8 coils filled the aneurysm densely, the physician withdrew the microcatheter to release the stent and completed the surgery.The angiography revealed that distal tip (delivery wire) of the stent was remained in patient¿s body.The procedure was prolonged about 20 minutes.The patient was stable currently.Additional information received indicated that the vessel was ¿not very tortuous¿.It was confirmed that the delivery wire broke/ separate into two pieces.No additional intervention was performed in order to remove the distal tip left in the patient.There was no difficulty with advancing the stent through the microcatheter.The delivery wire was not reshaped prior to use in the patient.The stent was not torqued or rotated during the attempt to advance it in the microcatheter.The event did not result in a clinically significant delay in the procedure.
