The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the left internal carotid artery (ica) using penumbra coils 400 (pc400¿s).During the procedure, while advancing a pc400 through a non-penumbra microcatheter, the physician experienced resistance at the middle of the microcatheter; therefore, the pc400 was removed.Next, the physician attempted to advance a new pc400 through the microcatheter; however, resistance was encountered at the same position and the pc400 became stuck.Therefore, the physician removed the pc400 and the procedure was completed using other coils and the same microcatheter.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
