The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure to treat a carotid cavernous fistula (ccf) using penumbra coil 400s ((b)(4)), a px slim delivery microcatheter (px slim), a neuron 6f 070 delivery catheter (neuron 070), and a non-penumbra long sheath.During the procedure, after advancing approximately twenty centimeters of a (b)(4) into the fistula, the physician reported that the (b)(4) unintentionally detached inside the px slim.Therefore, the px slim containing the detached (b)(4) was removed from the patient.Next, the physician re-advanced the same px slim into the fistula.While advancing another (b)(4) halfway through the px slim, the coil unintentionally detached inside the px slim.Therefore, the px slim containing the detached (b)(4) was removed from the patient.It was also reported that the physician preferred to use a different catheter and decided to remove the neuron 070 from the procedure.The procedure was completed using a non-penumbra microcatheter, non-penumbra coils, a non-penumbra catheter, the same long sheath, and a liquid embolic agent.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
