Event or Problem Description
The patient was undergoing a medical procedure in the varices using a lantern delivery microcatheter (lantern) and a non-penumbra catheter.During the procedure, while loading the lantern into the catheter, the physician broke the lantern into two pieces at the distal end.Therefore, the physician removed the proximal segment of the lantern.It was reported that the broken piece of the lantern was still outside of the catheter; therefore, the physician was able to remove it by grabbing the broken piece of the lantern and pulling it out.The procedure was completed using a new lantern and the same catheter.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
