It was reported that a retracta detachable embolization coil became entangled during coil embolization procedure for the treatment of an abdominal aortic aneurysm in a patient of unknown age and gender.The procedure aimed to embolize the internal iliac artery via a contralateral approach using a left inguinal puncture.Since, there was aneurysm in the main internal artery, the intervention was planned to include the embolization of the superior and inferior gluteal arteries.The superior gluteal artery was successfully embolized without complications, during the embolization of the inferior gluteal artery, the first coil was placed, and the wire guide was rotated counterclockwise to detach the second coil, the junction zone was just inside the catheter tip upon attempted deployment.The first coil became entangled and could not be removed, both the coils were forcibly pulled into the catheter and then removed together with the catheter.The procedure was successfully completed using new retracta coils.In total, four coils including three retracta embolization coils and one packing coil (competitor¿s device) were placed in the inferior gluteal artery.As reported, the patient did not experience any adverse effects or require any additional procedures due to this occurrence.This report captures the first coil.The second coil is referenced in a report with the patient identifier: (b)(6).
