Event or Problem Description

|
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the middle meningeal artery using a penumbra smart coil (smart coil), a penumbra smart coil detachment handle (handle), non-penumbra coils and a non-penumbra microcatheter.During the procedure, the physician placed three non-penumbra coils in the target vessel using the microcatheter.Next, the physician advanced a smart coil in the target vessel using the microcatheter and attempted to detach it using the handle; however, the smart coil failed to detach.Therefore, the physician used a new handle to successfully detach the smart coil.The procedure ended at this point.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
