The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the splenic artery using ruby coils and a non-penumbra microcatheter.During the procedure, while advancing a ruby coil through the microcatheter in the target vessel, the microcatheter kicked back; therefore, the physician removed the ruby coil to in order to reposition the microcatheter.It was reported that the ruby coil was rinsed in saline after removal.However, while attempting to re-advance the ruby coil into the repositioned microcatheter, the ruby coil would not advance within its introducer sheath; therefore, it was removed.The procedure was completed using another ruby coil and the same microcatheter.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
