Event or Problem Description

|
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the lumbar artery using penumbra smart coils (smart coils), a penumbra smart coil detachment handle (handle) and a non-penumbra microcatheter.It was noted that the patient anatomy was tortuous.During the procedure, the physician advanced the smart coil in the target vessel using the microcatheter and attempted to detach it using the handle; however, the smart coil failed to detach.Therefore, the handle was put aside and not used for the remainder of the procedure.The physician then used a new handle to detach the smart coil.It is unknown how the procedure was completed.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
