Additional information received reported the patient was undergoing the procedure to treat a 6.1mm middle cerebral artery (mca) aneurysm.Vessel tortuosity was moderate.During preparation, the introducer sheath was held vertically when the implant coil was pulled back inside during hydration.A continuous flush was administered and maintained during the procedure as indicated in the ifu.It was clarified that when retrieving the coil, it was stuck in the microcatheter so the system was removed together.There was no harm or injury to the patient associated with this event and the patient was noted to be recovering with no problem.After removal, it was observed the coil was elongated/stretched and the filament was exposed.The cause of the resistance was not determined.
