Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the renal artery using ruby coils.During the procedure, the physician placed a ruby coil in the aneurysm; however, the physician was not satisfied with the way the ruby coil was filling the aneurysm; therefore, it was removed.The hospital staff was unable to re-sheath the ruby coil into the introducer sheath and noticed that the ruby coil looked slightly stretched.The procedure was completed using the same non-penumbra microcatheter and new ruby coils.It should be noted that the physician reported maintaining continuous flush and using a rotating hemostasis valve.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
