Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the gastroduodenal artery (gda) using ruby coils and a lantern delivery microcatheter (lantern).During the procedure, the physician advanced a ruby coil into the target location using a lantern; however, the physician decided to remove it and use a shorter size coil.Therefore, the ruby coil was removed.The physician then successfully implanted additional ruby coils into the target vessel using the lantern.The physician then re-advanced the previously removed ruby coil into the target location using the lantern.While attempting to re-position the ruby coil, the physician noticed that the ruby coil had unintentionally detached within the lantern.The physician then used a wire to successfully push the ruby coil into the target vessel.The procedure was completed using a new ruby coil and the same lantern.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
