Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure using ruby coils.During the procedure, while advancing a ruby coil through its introducer sheath and into a non-penumbra microcatheter, the ruby coil pusher assembly became kinked and stopped advancing.Upon pulling back, the ruby coil detached in its introducer sheath; therefore, the introducer sheath was removed from the microcatheter.The procedure was completed using another ruby coil and the same microcatheter.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
