Event or Problem Description

The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the anterior communicating artery (acom) using penumbra smart coils (smart coil) and a non-penumbra microcatheter.During the procedure, the physician placed two smart coils in the target vessel using the microcatheter.While attempting to place two additional smart coils in the target location, the physician experienced resistance and was only able to advance the smart coils partially through the microcatheter.Therefore, both smart coils were removed.Subsequently, the physician experienced the same resistance advancing a new smart coil through the microcatheter; however, the physician was able to advance the smart coil through the resistance and successfully place the smart coil in the target location.The procedure had ended at this point.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
