Corrected data: (d10)(h3) the pusher, introducer, and part of the implant were returned for analysis.The microcatheter was not returned for analysis.Review of the unit found the implant to be separated from the pusher.The implant was intact at the distal end but was stretched proximally.The implant was found to be broken in the middle with the markerband missing.The proximal end of the implant was not returned.It was noted that a snare was used to remove the implant from the patient.It is unknown as to when the implant separated into multiple pieces and if it resulted from the procedure or snare operation.The introducer was found to be in good condition and without damage.The pusher was found to be in good condition with only minor damage at the distal end.The strain relief contained minor folding at the distal end.It is unknown if this was the result of tensile or compressive forces.No signs of thermal detachment were noted.The tether was found to have been separated at the attachment location.It is presumed to reside with the missing proximal end of the implant.The implant coil was found to be detached from the pusher.The implant had sustained severe damage, limiting the scale of the investigation and root cause analysis.The nature of the stretching is consistent with an implant that was subject to forces that exceed its intended specification.The microcatheter was not returned, preventing analysis of any contributing conditions.
