Event or Problem Description
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the internal iliac artery (iia) using ruby coils and px slim delivery microcatheters (px slims).During the procedure, the physician advanced a px slim 045 into a non-penumbra diagnostic catheter followed by an 8x60 ruby coil.However, the 8x60 ruby coil was unable to advance through the px slim 045.The 8x60 ruby coil was subsequently removed.Another 8x60 ruby coil was then advanced through the px slim 045 and the same issue occurred.Therefore, this 8x60 ruby coil was also removed.The same issue was then encountered with a third 8x60 ruby coil, and this coil was also removed.Following these events, the physician decided to remove the px slim 045 from the procedure.The physician continued the procedure using a px slim straight tip and regained access to the target vessel on the ipsilateral side.Another 8x60 ruby coil was then advanced into the px slim straight tip.While advancing the 8x60 ruby coil out of the px slim straight tip, the physician encountered resistance and reported that the 8x60 ruby coil became partially detached.The px slim straight tip was housing part of the detached coil; therefore, the physician decided to remove the devices together.However, upon removal, the 8x60 ruby coil fully detached and became implanted into the patient¿s external iliac artery.The 8x60 ruby coil was then removed using a snare device.The physician continued the procedure by advancing a px slim 090 to the target vessel, followed by an 8x35 ruby coil.The 8x35 ruby coil did not advance through the px slim 090 and the physician decided to remove the 8x35 ruby coil and px slim 090 together from the patient.Subsequently, a non-penumbra catheter (excelsior xt27) was advanced into the target vessel and was successfully used to implant two 10x35 ruby coils.Upon advancement of a 8x35 ruby coil through the non-penumbra catheter (excelsior xt27), the physician encountered difficulty and the pusher assembly of the 8x35 ruby coil broke.Despite the unintentional detachment, the 8x35 ruby coil was successfully implanted into the target vessel.The procedure was then ended.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
