Event Description

It was reported that during an embolization treatment the coil advanced 3-4cm in the microcatheter and was reported to have broken and seen and felt to have released itself from the pusher through x-ray.The coil was removed simultaneously through aspiration along with the catheter without incident.There was no patient injury and the patient was reported to be doing good.

Event Description
|
Additional information reported that the coil detached in the coupler zone when approximately 3 to 4 loops remained.The physician tried to adjust the coil by taking it back and forth; no resistance was encountered during manipulation.The physician retracted the microcatheter out with the coil hanging out but managed to retrieve the coil system back into microcatheter as it was not totally detached; the coil was still attached.

Manufacturer Narrative
|
The investigation of the returned coil system found the implant severely stretched; however, the implant was still attached to the pusher.The stretched condition is consistent with the coil becoming stuck or experiencing friction during repositioning within the target site (i.E.Stuck on previously implanted coils or the tip of the microcatheter).The microcatheter used in the procedure was not evaluated as a part of this evaluation, so the investigation could not determine if it had caused or contributed to the stretched implant.The investigation of the returned device did not find any damage or other anomaly that would have caused or contributed to the reported complaint.
