Event or Problem Description

|
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure to treat a pelvic pain disease in the ovarian varicose vein using a px slim delivery microcatheter (px slim) and ruby coils.During the procedure, the physician advanced a ruby coil approximately four to five centimeters and the physician was not satisfied; therefore, the ruby coil was retracted back into the px slim.While re-advancing the ruby coil through the px slim, the ruby coil became stuck within the px slim.Therefore, the ruby coil was removed.The physician advanced another ruby coil a few centimeters and was unsatisfied with the ruby coil deployment and retracted the ruby coil back within the px slim.While re-advancing the ruby coil through the px slim, the ruby coil became stuck within the px slim.Therefore, the ruby coil and px slim were removed.The procedure was completed using non-penumbra coils and a microcatheter.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
