Event or Problem Description

The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the internal carotid artery (ica) using penumbra coil 400 (pc400) and a px slim delivery microcatheter (px slim).During the procedure, seven coils were implanted successfully in the target location using the px slim.While attempting to implant the eighth coil, the physician encountered resistance while advancing the pc400 through the px slim.When the distal part of the pc400 was advanced out of the px slim, the pc400 became stuck.The physician released slack on the px slim; however, the pc400 still could not be pushed out.Therefore, the pc400 was removed.The procedure was completed using a new pc400 and the same px slim.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
