Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the m2 segment of the middle cerebral artery (mca) using a penumbra smart coil detachment handle (handle) and penumbra smart coils (smart coils).During the procedure, the physician advanced a smart coil in the target vessel using a non-penumbra microcatheter; however, the smart coil failed to detach using a handle.Therefore, the smart coil was removed and the procedure was completed using a non-penumbra coil and the same microcatheter.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
