It was reported that the embolization coil was used in conjunction with an evar procedure.Internal iliac branch measured around 9cm distally with increasing diameter proximally.Reportedly, the coil experienced extreme resistance in the 4fr 65cm angled microcatheter from another manufacturer and could not be advanced.The microcatheter was exchanged for a 5fr 100cm angled catheter with no real improvement.The coil unraveled and unintentionally detached in the microcatheter.The coil was successfully removed with the catheter.Use of coils was aborted with only one coil placed and the physician decided to continue without full embolization.Only 1 of 5 coils were deployed successfully.Anatomy was normal with no tortuosity.No report of harm or injury to the patient and described as "normal." this is report 4 of 4 for this event.

Summary of device evaluation: the investigation of the returned coil system found the proximal connector kinked, and the implant coils severely stretched, and stuck within the introducer.However, the implant was found to still be attached to the pusher.The investigation of the returned device did not find any damage or other anomaly that would have caused or contributed to the reported premature detachment.The physical evaluation of the device could not identify the conditions or circumstances that led to the damage, but the damage is consistent with the device experiencing retraction forces over specification.
