Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient successfully underwent a coil embolization procedure in the right middle cerebral artery (mca) using penumbra coils 400 (pc400 coils).Six months post-procedure the patient experienced transient neurologic deficit and was treated with plavix.A magnetic resonance imaging/angiography (mri/mra) confirmed that this serious adverse effect (transient neurologic deficit) was resolved.This serious adverse effect was adjudicated to have an uncertain relationship to the pc400 coils, and an unrelated relationship to both the angiographic procedure and the aneurysm/malformation disease state.
