The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the middle cerebral artery (mca) using penumbra smart coils (smart coils).During the procedure, a smart coil would not advance out of its introducer sheath and into a non-penumbra microcatheter; therefore, it was removed.Next, the physician placed a non-penumbra coil in the target vessel then attempted to advance another smart coil in the target vessel; however, the smart coil would not advance out of its introducer sheath.Therefore, it was removed.The procedure was completed using a new smart coil, other coils and the same microcatheter.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
