Event Description

The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the right hypogastric and other feeders from profunda artery using ruby coil lps and lp system detachment handle (handle).It should be noted that the patient's vessel was very small and tortuous.During the procedure, the physician advanced a ruby coil lp in the target location and attempted to detach it using the handle; however, the ruby coil lp failed to detach after multiple attempts.It was reported that the black alignment zone on the ruby coil lp was separated by approximately 5mm but the ruby coil lp would not detach.The physician also attempted to manually detach the ruby coil lp but was unsuccessful.Therefore, the ruby coil lp was removed.Next, the physician advanced another ruby coil lp and attempted to detach it using the same handle but the ruby coil lp failed to detach.Therefore, the physician manually detached the ruby coil lp.Afterwards, the physician advanced another ruby coil lp; however, a vessel spasm occurred and therefore, the ruby coil lp was removed.It was reported that the vessel spasm was not directly related to the ruby coil lp and was considered resolved.It was also reported that three ruby coil lps were detached in another vessel using the same handle before encountering the issue.The physician decided to end the procedure.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
