Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the internal iliac artery (iia) using ruby coils and a lantern delivery microcatheter (lantern).During the procedure, the physician felt resistance while advancing a ruby coil out of the tip of the lantern and; therefore, the ruby coil and lantern were removed.The hospital staff then noticed that the lantern was kinked 1 cm from the distal tip.The ruby coil was accidentally thrown away and; therefore, the procedure was completed using a new lantern and new ruby coils.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
