It was reported that the coil damaged a balloon.The target lesion was located in a moderately tortuous subclavian artery.A 8mm x 40cm interlock-35 coil was selected for use.During a subclavian embolization, a 8mm x 20cm interlock coil was attempted to place in a non bsc parent catheter.However, the interlocking arm part was caught near the tip of the catheter and coil could no longer come out from the catheter's tip.When coil was viewed under fluoroscopy, the back part of the interlocking arm on the pusher side was located outside and the interlocking arm and the pusher seemed to be bent.Consequently, slight force was applied and when the pusher wire was pushed to remove the bent part from the outside, the interlocking arm come out from the catheter's tip.The coil was able to be placed.Then, the 8mm x 40cm interlock-35 coil was used; however, the coil was detached early and could not be removed from the non bsc parent catheter tip.The pusher wire penetrated the non bsc inner catheter causing the its balloon to rupture.The coil was implanted and the balloon was retrieved.No patient complications reported.
