Medtronic received a report that an axium coil prematurely detached and encountered resistance in the microcatheter.The patient was undergoing surgery for treatment of a saccular, unruptured internal carotid artery c5 segment aneurysm with a max diameter of 4 mm and a 2.4 mm neck diameter.It was noted the patient's blood flow was normal and vessel tortuosity was moderate.It was reported that there was a significant resistance during the delivery process, and the delivery wire could not be moved, resulting in accidental detachment.Subsequently, the microcatheter and coil were withdrawn from the patient.No surgical or medicinal intervention was required.The pushwire was not bent or broken.It was unknown if the physician repositioned the coil or rotated the delivery pusher during procedure.The physician did not attempt to detach the coil.The reported device and any accessory devices were prepared and flushed as indicated in the instructions for use (ifu).No patient symptoms or complications were associated with this event.
