The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the anterior communicating artery using a penumbra smart coil detachment handle (handle) and penumbra smart coils (smart coils).During the procedure, the physician successfully deployed and detached multiple smart coils using the handle.The physician then was unable to detach another smart coil using the handle, despite attempting to detach the smart coil twice.The physician then tested the handle and heard a different sound than usual.The physician attempted to detach the smart coil using the handle again, however was still unsuccessful.Therefore the physician used a new handle to detach the smart coil, and completed the procedure using the second handle and additional smart coils.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
