Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the hepatic artery using ruby coils.During the procedure, the physician felt resistance while advancing a ruby coil within a non-penumbra microcatheter and, consequently, the ruby coil unintentionally detached.The physician, therefore, removed the microcatheter with the coil inside and completed the procedure using a new microcatheter and a new ruby coil.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
