Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure to treat a pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm (pap) using ruby coils and a non-penumbra microcatheter.During the procedure, while advancing a ruby coil into the target vessel using the microcatheter, the physician was not satisfied with the placement of the microcatheter.Therefore, the physician decided to retract the ruby coil to reposition the microcatheter.However, resistance was encountered while retracting the ruby coil and it unintentionally detached in the microcatheter.Therefore, the microcatheter containing the detached ruby coil was removed.The procedure was completed using a new ruby coil and another microcatheter.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
