Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that during repositioning of an embolization coil in a ruptured aneurysm, resistance was encountered and then the coil detached in the vessel.Hemostasis was successfully achieved; however, the coil was positioned suboptimally, a little lower than expected, which occluded a relatively large splenic vessel.As a result, the patient received appropriate vaccines due to the possible risk of splenic infarction and potential for asplenia.There was no clinical consequence to the patient, and the patient is currently reported to be feeling well.
