The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the profunda femoris artery using ruby coils and a lantern delivery microcatheter (lantern).It was reported that the patient¿s anatomy was tortuous.During the procedure, while attempting to advance a ruby coil through the lantern, the physician experienced resistance; subsequently, the ruby coil could not be advanced and unintentionally detached.It was reported that the distal tip of the lantern had kinked while being advanced through a tight vessel.Therefore, the lantern containing the detached ruby coil was removed.The procedure was completed using a new lantern and another ruby coil.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
