Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was undergoing coil embolization procedure in the anterior communicating artery (acom) using penumbra smart coils, a penumbra smart coil detachment handle (handle) and a non-penumbra microcatheter.During the procedure, the physician advanced a smart coil into the target vessel using the microcatheter and attempted to detach it using the handle; however, the smart coil failed to detach.The physician then attempted to manually detach the smart coil by pulling the proximal portion of the delivery system and after two attempts the smart coil detached.Next, while advancing the second smart coil through the microcatheter, the smart coil became stuck inside the microcatheter.Therefore, the smart coil was removed.Then, while advancing the third smart coil through the microcatheter, the same issue occurred.Therefore, the smart coil and the microcatheter were removed.The procedure ended at this point.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
