Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the internal carotid-posterior communicating artery (ic-pc) using penumbra smart coils (smart coils) and a non-penumbra microcatheter.It should be noted that the patient's anatomy was tortuous.During the procedure, the physician was unable to advance the first smart coil past its initial position within its introducer sheath.Therefore, the smart coil was removed.The procedure was completed using a new smart coil, three non-penumbra coils, and the same microcatheter.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
