Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was undergoing a retrograde transvenous coil embolization with balloon obstruction coil using a penumbra coils 400 (pc400s).During the procedure, the physician experienced resistance while using the first pc400; however, the pc400 was able to be deployed and detached in the target location using a non-penumbra microcatheter.While advancing a new pc400 through the microcatheter, the physician experienced resistance at about 2cm from the distal tip of the microcatheter; therefore, the pc400 was removed.The procedure was completed using another treatment method.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
