The patient was undergoing a coil embolization using a penumbra smart coil (smart coil) and a penumbra smart coil detachment handle (handle).During the procedure, the physician advanced a smart coil in the target vessel and attempted to detach it using the handle; however, the smart coil failed to detach.Therefore, the physician decided to retract the smart coil; however, upon retraction, the smart coil unintentionally detached in the microcatheter.The detached smart coil was then successfully pushed into the aneurysm.There was no report of adverse effect to the patient.
