The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure to treat a dural arteriovenous fistula (davf) using penumbra smart coils (smart coils) and a smart coil detachment handle (handle).During the procedure, the physician placed two non-penumbra coils and one smart coil in the target vessel using a non-penumbra microcatheter.Next, the physician advanced another smart coil into the target vessel and used the handle to detach it; however, the smart coil failed to detach.The physician then made another attempt and successfully detached the smart coil.Afterwards, the physician placed a non-penumbra coil in the target vessel.The physician then advanced a new smart coil into the target vessel and used the handle to detach it; however, the smart coil failed to detach.Therefore, the physician manually detached the smart coil.The procedure was ended at that point.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
