Event Description

On (b)(6) 2021, the patient underwent a coil embolization procedure to treat a ruptured aneurysm in the left internal carotid artery (ica) and posterior communicating (pcom) artery using penumbra smart coils (smart coil), a non-penumbra microcatheter and a guidewire.During the procedure, the physician implanted eight smart coils in the target location using the microcatheter.While attempting to advance the next smart coil, the physician was unable to advance the smart coil at all past its initial position within its introducer sheath.It was reported that multiple attempts were made to advance the smart coil; however, they were unsuccessful.Therefore, the smart coil was removed.Next, the physician implanted five smart coils in the target location using the microcatheter.After advancing the next smart coil into the target location, the physician attempted to reposition the microcatheter to find a good position for the smart coil.While repositioning the microcatheter, the smart coil and microcatheter extended beyond the aneurysm wall which caused a perforation.The physician then repositioned the microcatheter and smart coil and detached the smart coil in the target location.Additional smart coils were then implanted in the target location to bridge the point of perforation and close the portion of the aneurysm dome.Subsequently, it was noticed that there was a brief and small amount of contrast extravasation which quickly sealed.It was reported there was no change in the patient¿s vitals.The event was considered resolved the same day (b)(6) 2021.The aneurysm perforation was reported to be a serious adverse event with a definite relationship to the smart coil and index procedure.
