Abstract :

While performing posterior communicating aneurysm coiling, the framing of the aneurysm was performed but the coil detachment device was having an error which was only known when the coil was released into the aneurysm. The biomedical engineer within the operating room created a twelve voltage power supply circuit which was used to detach all the coils, thus rescuing the situation and saving the patient.
