The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the splenic artery using ruby coils and a non-penumbra microcatheter (renegade).During the procedure, while advancing a ruby coil through the microcatheter, it became stuck; therefore, the ruby coil was retracted for removal.While retracting, the physician experienced resistance and heard a ¿pop¿.Subsequently, the ruby coil broke and the filament wire started to unwind within the microcatheter.Therefore, the microcatheter was removed containing the ruby coil.The procedure was completed using new ruby coils and a lantern delivery microcatheter (lantern).There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
