The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure using ruby coils.During the procedure, the physician successfully deployed and detached a ruby coil in the target vessel using a non-penumbra microcatheter.While attempting to advance a new ruby coil through the microcatheter, the physician experienced resistance and the ruby coil would not advance; therefore, it was removed.The physician then successfully deployed and detached another ruby coil in the target vessel using the same microcatheter.While attempting to advance a new ruby coil, the physician experienced resistance again and the ruby coil would not advance; therefore, it was removed.The procedure was completed using a new ruby coil and the same microcatheter.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
