Event or Problem Description
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the anterior communicating artery (acom) using a penumbra smart coil (smart coil), a penumbra smart coil detachment handle (handle) and a non-penumbra microcatheter.It was noted that the patient¿s anatomy was tortuous.During the procedure, the physician advanced the smart coil in the target location using the microcatheter and attempted to detach it using the handle; however, the smart coil failed to detach.The physician then made several additional attempts to detach the smart coil manually and using the handle, but the smart coil still would not detach.Therefore, the physician decided to remove the smart coil.While gently retracting the pusher assembly of the smart coil, the physician experienced resistance and subsequently, it was noticed that the smart coil had unintentionally detached.Therefore, the physician used the pusher assembly of the smart coil to successfully push the detached smart coil inside the aneurysm.The procedure was completed using other coils and the same microcatheter.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
