Event or Problem Description
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the aorta using ruby coils and a lantern delivery microcatheter (lantern).During the procedure, the physician advanced a ruby coil to the target vessel; however, the physician determined the ruby coil was too large.Therefore, the ruby coil was removed and saved for later use.Later in the procedure, while attempting to re-advance the previously removed ruby coil into the microcatheter, the physician experienced resistance, and subsequently, the ruby coil detached from its pusher assembly within its introducer sheath prior to entering the microcatheter.Therefore, the ruby coil was removed.The procedure was completed using a new ruby coil and the same lantern.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
