Event or Problem Description
It was reported that during treatment of an aneurysm, the embolization coil was advanced without resistance through a microcatheter.As the coil was being positioned and manipulated inside the aneurysm under fluoroscopy, the coil unexpectedly detached without use of the controller.A few seconds later, the coil migrated outside the aneurysm with the force of the patient's blood flow.An attempt was made to retrieve the coil with a vascular snare device; however, it was unsuccessful.The following day, another attempt was made to retrieve the coil with an alligator retrieval device; however, when the coil was captured, it broke into two (2) parts.One part migrated to the humeral artery and was surgically removed.
