It was reported that the coil migrated, and additional intervention was required.An embold fibered 14x50 was selected for use in an ovarian vein embolization to treat pelvic congestion.The target lesion was mildly calcified and tortuous.The coil was used along with a 2.8 non-boston scientific microcatheter.Prior to use of this coil, a 12x30 coil was deployed with no issues.The resident began deploying the complaint device until resistance was met, then was unable to advance at least 30 cm of coil out of the microcatheter.The microcatheter was pulled back, and the physician attempted to give the coil more space to deploy, but deployment was unsuccessful.At this time, the resident began to retract the coil, and the coil would not move.The resident ended up retracting both the microcatheter and the coil, which was protruding from the tip of the microcatheter.The coil then migrated higher up and deployed while trying to remove the microcatheter.The resident used a snare to retrieve the coil, a process which took 3.5 hours.In the end, the procedure was aborted without implanting an additional coil.There were no patient complications as a result of this event.
