The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure to treat a typo i endoleak using ruby coils and a lantern delivery microcatheter (lantern).During the procedure, while loading the ruby coil, the hospital technician noticed the ruby coil was kinked; however, the physician decided to continue and use the kinked ruby coil.Subsequently, when the physician advanced the ruby coil into the target location, the physician noticed the ruby coil had not taken its intended shape within the vessel and decided to retract the ruby coil back into the introducer sheath.However, while attempting to retract the ruby coil, the physician noticed the ruby coil had unintentionally detached.Therefore, the physician used a balloon catheter to remove the detached ruby coil.The procedure was completed using a new ruby coil and the same lantern.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
