Event or Problem Description
|
|
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the middle meningeal artery using penumbra smart coils (smart coil) and a penumbra smart coil detachment handle (handle).During the procedure, the physician advanced a smart coil into the target vessel using a non-penumbra microcatheter and used a handle to detach it; however, the smart coil failed to detach.Therefore, a new handle was opened and used to successfully detach the same smart coil.Subsequently, the procedure was completed using additional smart coils and the same new handle.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
