- Abstract
Coil migration during endovascular embolization is a complication that can result in thromboembolic occlusion leading to potentially large infarcts if not removed. Microsnares are commonly used to remove migrated coils. Current techniques, however, struggle in cases where the microsnare is unable to loop over and secure a free end of the coil. We present a case in which a microsnare combined with a microwire successfully removed a migrated coil in a patient with a bleeding hepatic pseudoaneurysm post-embolization. This technique proved beneficial when traditional methods were insufficient, especially in small vessels or coil packs that cannot be snared. The synergy of the microsnare and microwire technique presents a promising solution for challenging migrated coil retrievals.
