The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the internal iliac artery (iia) using a lantern delivery microcatheter (lantern), ruby coils, pod coils, and a non-penumbra catheter.It should be noted that the patient's anatomy was tortuous, calcified, and narrowed.During the procedure, the physician successfully implanted two ruby coils into the target location.While advancing the next ruby coil through the middle of the lantern, the physician encountered resistance and subsequently, the ruby coil became stuck in the lantern.Therefore, the lantern containing the ruby coil was removed from the patient, and subsequently, the ruby coil was removed from the lantern.The procedure was completed using a new lantern, the same ruby coil, five additional ruby coils, and two pod coils.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
