Event Description

It was reported that during the treatment of an acomm aneurysm, microcatheters were positioned to access the aneurysm for coil deployment.An lvis jr.Was placed to deploy from the left a2 across the acomm and shoulder it to protect the right a2 during coiling.During the deployment, the stent opened well distally, but the catheter straightened out the vessel.Due to the straightening, it was not possible to shoulder the lvis jr.Well enough to protect the right a2.Attempts were made to position the stent and catheter in the desired location unsuccessfully.At this point an attempt was made to pull the lvis jr.Into the envoy catheter.During this attempt the lvis jr.Deployed in the cavernous segment of the rica.The right a1 was filling slower at this point.An attempt was made to retrieve the lvis jr.Using a solitaire stent unsuccessfully.A 3mm gooseneck snare was utilized to retrieve the stent successfully on the first attempt.A follow up run showed spasm in the right mca artery along with some clot in the proximal section of the m1.After a couple minutes of minutes another angio run was performed which showed the clot cleared up.The a1 segment was filling much better at this point.However, there was still spasm in the right m1.At this point the catheters were withdrawn.A 6f sheath was left in place as they were planning on taking the patient to the or to clip the aneurysm, since they weren't able to treat it endovascularly.Additional patient/incident information provided on 4/13/2016- the patient was neurologically stable and at baseline when they woke the patient up after the case.The patient then went on to have the aneurysm clipped.
