The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure using penumbra smart coils (smart coils), a penumbra smart coil detachment handle (handle), and a non-penumbra microcatheter.During the procedure, 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.The physician then attempted to manually detach the smart coil but was unsuccessful.While the physician gently retracted the pusher assembly of the smart coil, it was noticed that the smart coil had unintentionally detached.Therefore, the physician used the pusher assembly of the smart coil to push the detached smart coil successfully into the aneurysm.It was reported that the same issue occurred with another smart coil.Therefore, the physician also used the pusher assembly of the smart coil to successfully push the detached smart coil into the aneurysm.The procedure was completed using other coils.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
