Event or Problem Description
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the left internal iliac artery (iia) to treat pelvic arteriovenous malformations (avm's) using penumbra coil 400's (pc400's).During the procedure, the physician advanced another manufacturer's microcatheter toward the target vessel and then attempted to advance an initial pc400 through the microcatheter.While attempting to advance the pc400 through the microcatheter, the physician encountered resistance and decided to retract the coil.The physician then made another attempt to advance the pc400 through the microcatheter; however, resistance was encountered again at the same position.Therefore, the pc400 coil was removed and a new pc400 was opened.While attempting to advance the new pc400 through the microcatheter, the physician encountered resistance at the same position in the microcatheter.Therefore, both the pc400 and microcatheter were removed.Thereafter, the procedure was successfully completed using a new px slim delivery microcatheter (px slim) and new pc400's and ruby coils.It should be noted that the two original pc400's were not advanced through the px slim because the tip of those coils became damaged.It should also be noted that the physician used a rotating hemostasis valve (rhv) and maintained a continuous flush throughout the procedure.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
