Event Description
|
Medtronic received report that pipeline flex with shield device (ped2), distal tip coil and wigs separated from the pushwire.The patient was treated for a right internal carotid artery (ica) para-ophthalmic, unruptured, saccular aneurysm, with a max diameter of 5mm and a 4mm neck.The distal landing zone was 4mm and the proximal was 4mm.The anatomy was moderate in tortuosity.It was reported that after successfully deploying the ped2, the medtronic catheter was inserted back through the ped2 to recapture the distal tip coil and ptfe wings.The tip was engaged but difficulty was experienced when attempting to pull it back into the catheter when the distal tip coil and wings detached from the rest of the pusher wire.The catheter was carefully pulled out, and the detached tip coil and wings came with it.On the bench it could clearly be seen that it had detached from the wire.The post procedure angiographic result was good.There were no reports of patient injury in association with this event.
