Medtronic received information that the pipeline was bumped causing the distal end of the pipeline to fall into the proximal aneurysm as the tip coil proximal to the pipeline was being re-captured.The pipeline was implanted in the intended location with full wall apposition, but the distal end was left inside the dome of the aneurysm despite several attempts to re-gain access.Retrieval of the pipeline was not optimal; therefore, the pipeline was left in the patient.The physician plans to bring the patient back in two months to check the aneurysm.There were no patient symptoms reported.
