Following submission of the success post market surveillance study semi-annual progress report, the company became aware that a case of a 56 year old female that was treated with comaneci 17 was characterized by the study independent data safety monitoring board (dsmb) as a device-related event.The patient was diagnosed with incidental r ica terminus aneurysm and presented for elective coil embolization on 4 august 2022.The angiographic study demonstrates a bilobed right ica terminus aneurysm that measures 6.1 x 7.1 x 6.0 mm with a 4.0 mm neck.During the embolization, the comaneci device was opened and closed as needed to assure proper coil placement.Intermittent dsa was performed demonstrating progressive occlusion of the aneurysm.After placement of the last coil, the microwire was re-inserted and the microcatheter was removed from the aneurysm without complication.When the comaneci device was deflated for the final time a coil loop protruded from the aneurysm and then became attached to the device.The physician attempted to insert a transform balloon in order to occlude the aneurysm neck while the last coil was being pulled out of the aneurysm to protect the first 2 coils from being pulled out of the aneurysm.During the removal of the comaneci device, the third coil pulled partially out the aneurysm but then became detached from the comaneci device and was loose in the ica.Then the coil migrated up into the ica terminus with the flow.In addition, there was catheter related ica vasospasm that resolved by pulling the catheter proximal to the spasm and injecting 10 mg of intra-arterial verapamil.At this point a sl 10 microcatheter was advanced into the mca and a atlas stent 4 x 24 mm was deployed from the m1 down to the supraclinoid ica to tack the coil loops up against the wall.Repeat angiography demonstrated improved flow and no evidence of thrombus formation.The majority of the coil loops were tacked against the stent in the m1 however there was 1 coil loop in the a1 that was not flow-limiting.The decision at this point was made to terminate the procedure.Final dsa in the working view demonstrated stagnant contrast within the aneurysm (modified raymond iiia).Final cranial and cervical angiography was stable compared to baseline without evidence of complications.24-hour post procedure neuro examination remains intact, glasgow coma score =15, the subject was awake and alert.A small hematoma developed at the access site.The subject was discharged on (b)(6) 2022.
