The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the right internal carotid artery-posterior communicating artery (ica㐃om) using penumbra coil 400 coils (pc400 coils).During the procedure, after eight pc400 coils were deployed and detached in the aneurysm, minimal thrombus formation was noted at the aneurysm neck.Therefore, the patient was administered four thousand units of heparin and subsequently, the thrombus resolved.The reported minimal thrombus formation was adjudicated to have a definite relationship to the pc400 coil system, an unrelated relationship to the procedure and a possible relationship to the disease state.
