The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the splenic artery using penumbra smart coils (smart coil), ruby coil, other coils, non-penumbra catheter and non-penumbra microcatheters.During the procedure, the physician placed a ruby coil and 17 other coils in the target vessel using the microcatheter.While attempting to advance a smart coil, the physician noticed the smart coil was stuck and would not advance from the starting position within its introducer sheath.Therefore, the smart coil was removed.The procedure was completed using a new smart coil and the same microcatheter.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
