Event or Problem Description
As reported, the patient was an active rupture of an mca bifurcation aneurysm.Aneurysm was not amenable to primary coiling and web was chosen as the intervention.The treating physicians did measurements and initially chose a web size that was deployed but did not detach as it was decided was too large.The physicians then opted for a smaller 6x3 web sl and deployed and detached it in the aneurysm.Reportedly, the web rotated and occluded a branch vessel, which required further intervention.The physicians opted to balloon the web to reorient it in the aneurysm but mistakenly ballooned a fenestration instead of the target vessel with the web in it.Upon ballooning the incorrect vessel and through a fenestration, the vessel ruptured causing a massive subarachnoid hemorrhage.The patient icp shot up to 50+ and significant blood output was noted from the icd.The end result was to coil the ruptured vessel to shut it down.The sah was controlled and the patient was transferred to the nicu for observation but had bilateral and brisk pupil response.
