Event or Problem Description
The healthcare professional reported that during an endovascular coil embolization procedure targeting a left posterior communicating artery (pcom) aneurysm with normal anatomy using a cerebase (unknown catalog and lot number), a sofia¿ 6f intermediate catheter (microvention) and a total of six coils.It was reported that three of the six coils ¿got stuck in the microcatheter and could not be removed.¿ the three coils were: a 6mm x 25cm deltafill 18 (dlf180625 / 30719513), a 5mm x 20cm deltafill 18 (dlf180520 / 30942962), and a 4mm x 10cm deltafill 10 (dlf100410 / 30871956).It was reported that ¿when trying to pull the first coil [the 6mm x 25cm deltafill 18 (dlf180625 / 30719513)] out of the concomitant sl-10® microcatheter (stryker), the pusher wire tore off and the coil became stuck in the microcatheter.The microcatheter therefore, had to be removed.It was reported that prior to this coil, the previous three coils ¿could be pushed through the same [microcatheter].¿ this first sl-10® microcatheter (stryker) was not saved.The same incident occurred twice more during coil embolization with the 5mm x 20cm deltafill 18 (dlf180520 / 30942962), and a 4mm x 10cm deltafill 10 (dlf100410 / 30871956).Once with another sl-10® microcatheter (stryker) and once with an echelon¿ 14 microcatheter (medtronic).¿here too, the microcatheter had to be removed each time and replaced with new microcatheter.¿ the procedure was reported as successfully completed with no negative patient impact.There was a 25-minute procedure delay reported.
Additional Manufacturer Narrative
Manufacturer¿s ref.No: (b)(4).The purpose of this mdr submission is to include the additional event information received on 07-nov-2024.[additional information]: on 07-nov-2024, additional information was received.Per the information, the patient is a 71-year-old caucasian female with a history of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, atrial fibrillation, and cholesteatoma.The information indicated that ¿microcatheters were continuously flushed with heparinized saline at full speed all the time.¿ when the coils were removed, there were no appearance of obvious stretching observed.None of the coils became separated into two or more pieces.There were no visible kinks nor other issues observed on the concomitant sl-10 and echelon 14 microcatheters.Regarding the 25-minute procedure extension and whether the physician considered this to be clinically significant, the information indicated the following: ¿prolongation of procedure increases risk of complications notably embolism.Patient had three small emboli in dwi [diffusion-weighted imaging], but it is impossible to say if these were contributed by the prolongation.¿ micro-coil impediment in microcatheter with loss of cerebral target position and premature detachment in microcatheter during removal, are both known complications associated with coil endovascular procedures.Both events present potential for patient harm, as loss of microcatheter target position in the intracranial vasculature will require re-accessing the target site with increased potential for vessel trauma, vessel spasm, and/or ischemia/infarct.In this case, the events resulted in a 25-minute procedural delay which the physician considered to be clinically significant.It was further commented, the ¿patient had three small emboli in dwi [diffusion-weighted imaging], but it is impossible to say if these were contributed by the prolongation.¿ since the alleged device deficiencies resulted in a critical procedural prolongation which may have contributed to thrombus formation, this event meets us fda reporting criteria under 21 cfr 803 with a classification of ¿serious injury.¿ the file will be re-reviewed if additional information is received at a later date.Updated sections: a.2, a.3a, a.4, a.5, a.6, b.4, b.7, g.3, g.6, h.1, h.2, and h.11.The manufacturer will submit a supplemental report if new facts arise which materially alter information submitted in a previous mdr report.Additional information will be submitted within 30 days of receipt.
