The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the splenic artery using penumbra coil 400 detachment handles (handles) and penumbra coil 400s (pc400s).It was noted that the patient anatomy was tortuous.During the procedure, the physician deployed and detached two pod coils and pc400s in the target vessel using a px slim delivery microcatheter (px slim).After that, the physician advanced a new pc400 in the target vessel and attempted to detach it using the handle; however, the pc400 failed to detach.It was reported that the pet lock was separated about two millimeters.After several failed attempts, a new handle was opened and the pc400 was successfully detached.The physician continued the procedure by placing additional coils.While attempting to advance a new pc400 as the 27th coil through the px slim, the pc400 would not advance further after reaching almost the distal tip of the px slim.Therefore, it was removed, flushed with saline and re-inserted into the px slim; however, the same issue occurred.Therefore, the pc400 was removed and the procedure was completed using seven additional coils and the same px slim.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
