Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the gastroduodenal artery (gda) using ruby coils.During the procedure, the physician deployed a ruby coil into the aneurysm using a lantern delivery microcatheter (lantern) but thought that the coil was undersized and decided to resheath the coil.While the physician was resheathing the ruby coil, it unintentionally detached within the lantern.The physician did not mention any resistance while attempting to resheath the coil.The entire lantern containing the detached coil was then removed.Next, a new lantern was opened and advanced into the patient.While attempting to advance a new ruby coil through the new lantern, the physician encountered resistance.Therefore, the ruby coil was removed intact and another manufacturer's coil was placed in the aneurysm.After placing the other manufacturer's coil, the physician successfully completed the procedure by deploying and detaching three new ruby coils using the second lantern.It should be noted that the physician did not have a continuous flush and was not using a rotating hemostasis valve (rhv).However, the physician did flush before and after every coil.Additionally, there was no alleged deficiency with the first lantern.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
