Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the splenic artery using ruby coils.During the procedure, the physician successfully placed multiple ruby coils using a non-penumbra microcatheter.The physician then felt resistance while advancing a ruby coil within the microcatheter and, therefore, the ruby coil was retracted.While being retracted, the ruby coil unintentionally detached within the microcatheter.Therefore, the physician removed the microcatheter containing the detached ruby coil.The procedure was completed using a new coil and a new microcatheter.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
