The pusher was returned for evaluation.The implant with the marker band was still attached to the distal heater coil with good tension.The implant coil remnant was found stretched about 10 mm and the distal portion was separated, and not returned, but the remnant of the proximal implant coil was still attached to the pusher.The stretch resistant monofilament, within the implant was broken.The body coil at the distal section appeared wavy.The pet transition appeared stretched based on the investigation, the report that the coil stretched and detached was confirmed.The implant coil was found stretched and the distal portion was separated and not returned, but a coil remnant, including the marker band, was still attached to the pusher, which was heavily damaged.The damage likely occurred during the multiple attempts to reposition the device in the aneurysm.The instruction for use state that if repositioning is difficult, the coil may become stretched and could possibly detach.
