During stent-assisted coil embolization of aneurysm for large ophthalmic segment, left ica aneurysm, a complication was experienced with attempt to place second coil.During attempted deployment, the second neuro coil did not deploy, it then unraveled when the physician attempted to pull it back out, making it difficult to remove from the aneurysm.The physician was eventually able to snare the coil and bring it out of the aneurysm and out of the body.No loose coils were left in the body.However, microcatheter access to the aneurysm was lost during this maneuver and therefore no further coils were placed.A lvis blue stent was placed and established flow-diverting properties.Per the physician, the aneurysm may thrombose on its own.Physician to follow-up with patient in 6 months.
