The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the anterior communicating artery (aca) using penumbra smart coils (smart coils), a penumbra smart coil detachment handle (handle), two non-penumbra microcatheters, and a non-penumbra balloon catheter.During the procedure, the physician placed three non-penumbra coils into the target vessel using a microcatheter.Next, the physician advanced a smart coil into the target vessel using a microcatheter and attempted to detach it using the handle; however, the smart coil failed to detach.Therefore, the physician used a new handle to detach the smart coil.The procedure was completed using seventeen smart coils, twenty-seven non-penumbra coils, the same two microcatheters, and the same balloon catheter.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
