The patient was undergoing a thrombectomy procedure in the middle cerebral artery.During the procedure, the patient¿s vessel was perforated using a non-penumbra guidewire.The physician attempted to use penumbra smart coils (smart coils) to stop the bleeding; however, six smart coils would not advance past their initial positions within the introducer sheaths.Therefore, the smart coils were not used in the procedure.The next three smart coils were implanted in the target location using the penumbra smart coil detachment handle (handle).While attempting to implant the next smart coil using the handle, it would not detach.The physician attempted to manually detach the smart coil without success; therefore, this smart coil was removed from the patient.The procedure was completed using five smart coils and the same handle.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
