Coil migration, malposition, stretching and retrieval.
In this educational program for complicated coil placements, we report several cases of coil malposition, migration, and retrieval. We emphasize that a decrease in the expected one-toone motion of the coil is the earliest sign of a possible imminent complication, and the over the core wire technique with a fixed-loop snare (Gooseneck microsnare) is a very effective potential solution for elongated coil retrieval.
