    Discoloration was identified along the delivery pusher which was attributed to corrosion of the hypotube. The material which caused the corrosion was identified as remnants of solder flux residue remaining on the hypotube component of the delivery pusher. Due to the location of the delivery pusher within the delivery system, it is possible for the discoloration to mechanically break off from the delivery pusher, leaving the potential for the material to flow through the delivery system (i.e. microcatheter), and into the patient vasculature causing foreign emboli.

AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS WITH DIFFERENT WIRES, THE PHYSICIAN DECIDED TO ADVANCE A 4X13 COMPLEX SOFT OPTIMA INTO THE ANEURYSM IN HOPES TO HAVE THE HYBRID WIRE "BOUNCE" OFF IT AND INTO THE PICA. THE PHYSICIAN PUSHED OUT ABOUT 3CM OF THE OPTIMA AND THEN ADVANCED THE HYBRID WIRE. THE PHYSICIAN WAS ABLE TO GET ACCESS TO DISTAL PICA AND ADVANCED THE HEADWAY 17 INTO PICA. WHEN THE PHYSICIAN WENT TO PULL BACK SOME OF THE LOOPS OF THE 4X13 COMPLEX SOFT, THE PHYSICIAN NOTICED FRICTION. THE PHYSICIAN PUSHED THE COIL OUT AND THEN TRIED TO PULL IT BACK INTO THE MICROCATHETER. THE PHYSICIAN FELT RESISTANCE AND CONTINUED TO PULL GENTLY AND FELT THE COIL SLIGHTLY GIVE. THE PHYSICIAN THEN PULLED BACK ON THE PUSHER AND COULD TELL THAT IT HAD DETACHED FROM THE COIL. THERE WAS ABOUT 10CM OF COIL IN THE LEFT VERTEBRAL.
