Event Description

It was reported that the coil was protruding from the target location.An embold fibered 10x50 detachable coil system was selected for use in the embolization procedure.The coil was intended to be deployed distally in the varicocele vein.The physician advanced the coil to the target location of deployment and ensured that the couplers were outside of the microcatheter before breaking the proximal release perforation to deploy the coil, but the coil did not detach.The physician retracted the pull wire further, but the coil still did not deploy.The microcatheter was pulled back and an alternate pusher wire was utilized to push the coil into the target location.Due to the additional manipulation, the proximal tip of the coil was deployed more proximally in the vessel than intended.The proximal portion of the coil protruded from the target lesion.No further action was taken as a result of the unintended coil placement.The procedure was successfully completed and there were no reported patient complications.
