Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the gastric artery using penumbra smart coils (smart coil), non-penumbra coil, and non-penumbra microcatheter.It should be noted that the patient's anatomy was mildly tortuous.During the procedure, the physician placed a non-penumbra coil and four smart coils in the target vessel using the microcatheter.Next, a smart coil was stuck, and the pusher assembly would not advance at all within the 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.
