Event or Problem Description
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure using penumbra coil 400s (pc400s).During the procedure, the physician successfully placed four pc400s using a lantern delivery microcatheter (lantern).The physician then felt resistance and was unable to advance another pc400 more than 10 cm into the lantern.The pc400 was therefore removed, and the procedure was completed using another pc400 and the same lantern.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
