The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure using ruby coils.During the procedure, while attempting to deploy a ruby coil into the target vessel, the physician decided to retract the coil for repositioning.While retracting the ruby coil, the physician encountered resistance and subsequently, the coil unintentionally detached inside the non-penumbra microcatheter.Therefore, the microcatheter containing the detached ruby coil was removed and the procedure was successfully completed using new ruby coils and the same microcatheter.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
