The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the anterior communicating artery (acomm) using penumbra smart coils.During the procedure, a smart coil kept herniating into the parent vessel, and was unable to stay in the target location.It was reported that the aneurysm had a wide neck.The physician therefore completed the procedure by placing two non-penumbra stents and coiled the aneurysm through the stents using smart coils and additional coils.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
