As reported: dr.Was performing a rima collateral embolization.Two 0.018 cx coils were placed through a 2.8f 130cm microcatheter into the collateral, followed by a 10cm hydropack.A second hydropack, the 20cm hydropack, was utilized.The coil was delivered and deployed completely as intended without issue.However, the coil was approximately 2mm too long.About a 2mm portion was protruding into the native subclavian artery.The physician decided to snare the coil out and put a shorter hydropack in.A snare was advanced through a 4f catheter and the tip of the hydropack was snared and pulled back into the 4f catheter.Upon removing the hydropack, the snare slipped off of the coil midways through the 4f catheter.Contralateral access was obtained and a second 4f catheter was inserted.The coil pack that was remaining was snared and removed through the second 4f catheter.However, the same instance occurred.At this point, a portion of the hydropack was still deployed in the collateral and 2 sections of the coil were now snared and inside 2 separate 4f catheters.One 4f catheter was removed and the primary wind of the coil came out through the 4f sheath in the groin.The dr.Pulled the primary wind in an effort to remove the rest of the coil.This worked for a certain portion until it broke.The same thing was then done to the original 4f catheter.A portion of the primary wind was removed through the groin sheath and pulled until it too broke.A 4f catheter was reinserted to the original collateral location and snared a third time.This seemed to work and all coil was removed and confirmed under cine from the subclavian, down the aorta and into the femoral artery.No coil or unwound primary wind of the coil was seen.The procedure was finished utilizing 8 more 0.018 cx coils after this instance.There was no harm to the patient at time of ending the procedure and the rest of the procedure was finished without issue.Type of procedure performed: fontan collateral embolization.
