The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the right internal iliac artery (iia) using penumbra coil 400''s (pc400''s).During the procedure, the physician deployed and detached five pc400''s into the target vessel using a non-penumbra catheter and a penumbra coil detachment handle (handle).The physician then had deployed a sixth pc400 (lot # a25537) into the patient but had difficulty detaching the coil using the same handle.After several attempts, the physician was able to detach the coil.Next, the physician deployed a seventh pc400 (lot # f70957) into the patient and attempted to detach the coil using the same handle.However, after several attempts, the pc400 was unable to detach and was removed.Thereafter, the procedure was completed using a new pc400 and the same handle.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
