Event or Problem Description
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the splenic artery using penumbra coil 400's (pc400's).It was reported that the patient had excessively tortuous vessels and more time was needed to access the target vessel.During the procedure, the physician advanced a px slim delivery microcatheter (px slim) into the target vessel, then deployed an initial pc400 and attempted to detach it using a penumbra coil detachment handle (handle).However, upon manipulation, a dull sound was heard from the handle and it was observed that the black alignment zone on the pc400 pusher assembly was not separated properly.Next, the physician wiped the alignment zone and made another attempt to detach the pc400 using the handle but was unsuccessful.The physician then applied force in an attempt to manually detach the pc400 while simultaneously pulling the slider on the handle; however, the pc400 did not detach.Therefore, the physician opened a new handle and tested the detachment mechanism to make sure that it clicked.The physician then attempted to detach the pc400 using the new handle but was still unsuccessful and decided to retract the coil.While the pc400 was being retracted, it unintentionally detached inside the px slim.Therefore, the physician flushed the coil into the aneurysm.The procedure was then completed using additional coils and the second handle.The physician did not mention experiencing any resistance while using the pc400.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
