Event Description

It was reported that the coil broke, requiring additional intervention.A 3mm x12cm embold fibered detachable coil system was selected for use in a hemorrhoid embolization procedure.The coil was partially deployed in the rectal artery branch when an attempt was made to reposition; however, resistance was encountered while both pushing and pulling on the delivery wire.An attempt was made to retrieve the coil into the microcatheter.The operator pulled with resistance, and the coil stretched and ultimately broke.The coil separated from the couplers on the delivery wire.Multiple passes were made with both standard 6f snares and microsnares to retrieve portions of the stretched coil.The patient fully recovered.
