Event Description

As reported by a health care professional, during the procedure the physician experienced resistance when using a deltaxsft10 1.5mm x 2cm coil and reported that the coil felt stiff when delivered in the aneurysm.The procedure was coiling of anterior communicating artery aneurysm and was reported that the internal carotid artery was very tortuous.The physician had deployed several galaxy coils through the in dwelling catheter.He then tried using the complaint deltaxft10 coil.While advancing the coil through the prowler 14 microcatheter he complained that the delivery system felt ¿stiff¿ and tended to push the catheter (prowler 14) forward.He was able to advance the coil into the aneurysm but while delivering the coil into the aneurysm he then complained that the coil itself felt stiff.He was able to deploy the coil within the aneurysm but the physician was not satisfied with the way the coil was conforming to the walls of the aneurysm.There were no damages noted on the complaint coil or the concomitant devices prior to use or upon removal.An adequate continuous flush was maintained through the catheter.There were no adverse events associated with this incident and no additional medical intervention was required.The complaint product is not available for return.
