    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    IN THE LITERATURE ARTICLE ¿COMPLEX-SHAPED PLATINUM COILS FOR BRAIN ANEURYSMS: HIGHER PACKING DENSITY, IMPROVED BIOMECHANICAL STABILITY, AND MIDTERM ANGIOGRAPHIC OUTCOME¿ BY A.K. WAKHLOO, M.J. GOUNIS, J.S. SANDHU, N. AKKAWI, A.E. SCHENCK, AND I. LINFANTE, PUBLISHED AJNR AM J NEURORADIOL 28:1395¿ 400 _ AUG 2007 _ WWW.AJNR.ORG, IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE ADVERSE EVENT VASOSPASM OCCURRED IN THIS (B)(6) FEMALE THAT SUBSEQUENTLY LEAD TO DEATH FROM CEREBRAL ISCHEMIA. PER THE ARTICLE: ¿BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: FIVE TO 60% OF COILED BRAIN ANEURYSMS RECANALIZE, GENERALLY BECAUSE OF COIL COMPACTION. IN VITRO EXCLUSIVE USE OF COMPLEX-SHAPED COILS ALLOWS BETTER PACKING OF THE ANEURYSMAL SAC AND THE NECK AS COMPARED WITH HELICAL COILS. WE REPORT A SINGLE-CENTER, PROSPECTIVE STUDY USING COMPLEX COILS. SAFETY, PACKING DENSITY, AND RECANALIZATION RATE WERE EVALUATED¿ COMPLICATIONS AND OUTCOME: WITH REGARD TO PERIPROCEDURAL COMPLICATIONS, IN 1 PATIENT WE EXPERIENCED COIL STRETCHING AND DISLOCATION, WITH SUBSEQUENT RETRIEVAL. THE PATIENT DID NOT SUFFER ANY DAMAGE TO THE ARTERIAL SYSTEM AND REMAINED ASYMPTOMATIC. IN ANOTHER PATIENT, WITH A SUPERIOR HYPOPHYSEAL ARTERY ANEURYSM, THE 3-MM COMPLEX FILL COIL WAS PUSHED OUT INTO THE MIDDLE CEREBRAL ARTERY DURING PLACEMENT OF THE SECOND, 2-MM COMPLEX-FILL COIL. THE COIL WAS RETRIEVED SAFELY WITH A SNARE DEVICE, AND THE ANEURYSM WAS SUCCESSFULLY OBLITERATED. PERIPROCEDURAL NON-DEVICE-RELATED DEFICITS WERE SEEN IN 2 PATIENTS OF THE 69 TREATED PATIENTS (2.9%). FIRST, DURING FORCED PLACEMENT OF THE LAST COMPLEX COIL, A FRACTURE OCCURRED AND THE COIL HAD TO BE SURGICALLY REMOVED. SECOND, A RUPTURED ANEURYSM RE-RUPTURED DURING PLACEMENT OF THE MICROCATHETER. THE PATIENT WITH THE FRACTURED COIL WOKE UP FROM SURGERY WITH A PROGRESSIVELY IMPROVING MILD EXPRESSIVE APHASIA. THE PATIENT WITH THE RE-RUPTURED ANEURYSM EXPERIENCED DELAYED NEUROLOGIC RECOVERY. A (B)(6) WOMAN WITH A RUPTURED BASILAR TIP ANEURYSM AND AN (B)(6) WOMAN WITH A POSTERIOR COMMUNICATING ARTERY ANEURYSM, BOTH OF WHOM PRESENTED AS HH GRADE 3, DIED A FEW DAYS AFTER COILING FROM AN EXTENSIVE BRAIN ISCHEMIA RELATED TO SEVERE VASOSPASM.¿ AT THE TIME OF COMPLAINT ENTRY NO DEVICE SPECIFIC INFORMATION, I.E. CATALOGUE/LOT NUMBER, IS AVAILABLE.
