Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the anterior cerebral artery (aca) using penumbra smart coils (smart coils) and penumbra smart coil detachment handle (handle).During the procedure, the physician advanced a smart coil to the target vessel.While attempting to detach the smart coil using the handle, the smart coil failed to detach; therefore, the smart coil was removed, and the handle was not used for the remainder of the procedure.The physician then advanced another smart coil to the vessel and attempted to detach it using another handle, but the same issue occurred; therefore, the second smart coil was removed, and the physician decided not to use the second handle.The procedure was completed using other non-penumbra coils (optima).There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
