The "Never-Ending Coil": Embolization Procedure Complicated by an Unraveled Coil

Description

Coil unraveling is a rare but challenging complication that has been described mostly during intracerebral arterial embolization. Treatment options include snare retrieval, which may be difficult because of the length of the component filament. Here we describe successful endovascular treatment of an unraveled coil following its partial deployment for treatment of a type I endoleak after endovascular repair of an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm.
