Reportable based on device analysis completed on 16-oct-2024.It was reported that the coil failed to advance and got stretched.The patient underwent an embolization of a splenic aneurysm in the splenic artery.A 15mm x 40mm interlock.035 coil was selected for use.During the procedure, the guidewire was used to puncture from the right side, and a non-boston scientific (bsc) angiography catheter was used to reach the embolization site.However, the physician had a hard time pushing this coil after the first coil was successfully deployed.After pushing it back and forth several times and pulling it out, it was found that the coil was unloaded in the angiography catheter.Consequently, the coil was stretched.After the catheter was replaced and the microcatheter was re-selected, the procedure was completed with a 14 x 30 coil.No complications were reported, and the patient was stable post-procedure.However, device analysis revealed the arm coil was detached.
