The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure to treat a cerebral aneurysm using penumbra smart coils (smart coils).During the procedure, the physician placed three non-penumbra coils and one smart coil in the target vessel using a non-penumbra microcatheter.While attempting to insert a new smart coil into the microcatheter, the smart coil became stuck inside its introducer sheath; therefore, it was removed.The physician then attempted to use another smart coil but the issue occurred; therefore, it was removed.The procedure was completed using other coils.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
