Event or Problem Description
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure using ruby coils.During the procedure, the physician successfully deployed and detached multiple ruby coils using a lantern delivery microcatheter (lantern).Next, the physician was unable to advance a ruby coil fully out of the tip of the lantern; the ruby coil was able to advance about 1/4th of the way out of the lantern before it unintentionally detached within the lantern.The physician therefore removed the lantern with the detached ruby coil inside.The physician then inserted a new lantern, however this same issue occurred with a second ruby coil, and therefore the lantern was removed with the ruby coil inside.The procedure was then completed using a new ruby coil and the second lantern.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
