It was reported that the coil migrated post-deployment.An embold soft 2x4 coil was selected for use during a gastrointestinal (gi) bleed procedure.The vessel was mildly tortuous, and the coil fully deployed without any issues.While attempting to access another branch using a.014 non-boston scientific wire, the wire inadvertently entered the wrong branch and hooked the deployed coil, resulting in coil dislodgement.The entire system, including the microcatheter and base catheter, was withdrawn and flushed; however, the coil could not initially be located.Upon reinsertion of the base catheter, the coil was visualized under fluoroscopy protruding from the side hole of the base catheter and was successfully retrieved.Prior to this issue, other embold coils had been successfully implanted; therefore, the procedure was complete.There were no patient complications as a result of this event.
