It was reported that the procedure was a stent assisted coil embolization, with the location of the aneurysm close to the tip of the basilar artery, and the length and width of the aneurysm was approximately 1mm.The parent vessel was on the basilar artery; the vessel was reported to be normal, without calcification or tortuosity, and the vessel diameter was between 2.2mm to 2.60mm.During the attempt to release the stent, the pusher wire was blocked, and the second half of the stent could not be released.After the stent was removed, found the pusher wire was stuck on the wall of the stent.The same type of stent was used; the release was normal, and the procedure was successfully completed.The patient was reported to be doing fine.

Investigation conclusion: the stent was returned fully deployed and unattached to the pusher.The stent was returned deformed at the proximal end and the pusher was returned broken, which are consistent with difficulty retracting/re-sheathing the device.However, the circumstances of the damage could not be determined from the investigation.
