Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the iliolumbar artery using penumbra smart coils (smart coil) and a non-penumbra microcatheter.It was noted that the patient¿s anatomy was slightly tortuous.During the procedure, a smart coil was stuck in the starting position and would not advance through its introducer sheath.Therefore, the smart coil was removed.The physician then placed a new smart coil in the target vessel.Subsequently, while attempting to advance another smart coil through the middle of the microcatheter, the smart coil became stuck.Therefore, the smart coil and microcatheter was removed.The procedure was completed using two other coils and a new non-penumbra microcatheter.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
