It was reported that during a stent assisted coiling of a giant middle cerebral artery aneurysm, the 3nd coil was repositioned 4-5 times; however, the coil would not stay within the framing coil.During an attempt to remove the coil, the coil unexpectedly detached in the microcatheter, and a portion of the tail extended beyond the stent.A new catheter in combination with the bloodflow carried the tail into the stent, and an lvis jr.Stent was used to pin the coil to the vessel wall.There was no reported patient injury.The patient is reported to be doing well.
