It was reported the coil deployed prematurely and was stuck to the catheter tip when removed.This.035 interlock cube 10 mm x 40 cm coil system was selected for embolization of an aneurysm within the internal iliac.It was noted that there was moderate tortuosity.During insertion, the interventional radiologist attempted to pull the coil back a little bit; however, during this pulling back the coil detached inside the catheter.A 10 cm portion of the coil was stuck outside of the catheter and unable to push the coil out or pull it back.The catheter and the coil were removed from the patient together.The procedure was completed successfully using a new catheter and coil pack.No patient complications were reported.

Manufacturer Narrative

Device eval by manufacturer: this.035 interlock cube 10 mm x 40 cm was returned for analysis; however, only the mail coil was returned.Visual observations indicated that the main coil was bent and stretched at the coil arm and primary coil section.Also, the coil arm was detached.Functional testing could not be performed due the main coil and the pusher wire not interlocking, and with only the main coil being returned the reported observations of premature deployment and stuck to catheter tip could not be confirmed.The damage observed with the coil were likely related to difficulty withdrawing the catheter, which is indicative of the technique used by the physician and normal procedural difficulties encountered during the procedure.
