The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure using penumbra smart coils (smart coils).During the procedure, after being implanted in the patient, a smart coil herniated through the aneurysm wall, causing an extravasation.It was reported that the smart coil felt stiff during the procedure.As of (b)(6) 2017, the patient¿s current health status is unavailable.This moderate adverse effect was adjudicated to have a definite relationship to the smart coil system, and to be unrelated to the penumbra coil 400s and pod coils.
