It was reported that the coil stretched and protruded from the target location, requiring intervention.An embold fibered 4x15 was selected to treat a pseudo aneurysm that measured 2.5 centimeters (cm) in the internal mammary artery.The right radial access was a 65 cm rim catheter and a 105 cm truselect was used.A 4x15 embold fibered "coil" was successfully placed in the target vessel with no issues.Then it was attempted to place a second embold fibered coil.However, the coil had stretched and protruded out of the mammary artery to the sheath.The microcatheter was removed, and the 5 french base catheters remained.A basket-type snare was attempted to retrieve the coil unsuccessfully.Competitive coils were then used to complete the procedure.The patient was brought back the next day for another procedure where a stent was placed to attempt to mitigate what of the coil that had extended down the radial access pathway.
