Medtronic received a report that one coil became stuck during delivery, one coil could not be detached, and three coils were detached manually after being unable to detach with the instant detacher.The patient was undergoing treatment for varices.The patient¿s blood blow was high, and the vessel tortuosity was minimal.It was reported that the physician attempted to deliver the first coil through balloon.The versa 14x65 coil did not track through the balloon, and the physician retracted the coil successfully.It was believed that this was due to a sizing issue, and the balloon id was likely larger than 041.A number of legacy concerto coils were then delivered.Afterwards, the physician tried to use a versa coil again with a 4f cobra catheter.The versa 6x40 coil tracked well.The physician did not use the instant detacher and went straight to a manual break.The wire broke at the hbi and the internal filament broke, but the coil did not detach.The physician tried breaking at other points, but the coil still could not be detached.Five manual detachment attempts were made.The coil was withdrawn successfully.A verse 7x40 coil tracked well and detached using the instant detacher without issue.Two versa 7x40 coils and one verse 6x20 coil could not be detached with the instant detacher but were able to be detached using the manual break method.Two attempts were made with the instant detacher for each of these three coils.It was believed that the problem may have been with the instant detacher.The procedure was finished successfully, and the patient was doing well.Occlusion of the shunt was achieved, and the patient did not experience any injury or complications.The devices were prepared according to the instructions for use (ifu).Ancillary devices include 4fr cobra catheter.
