The patient was undergoing a thrombectomy procedure using a penumbra engine canister (canister) and an indigo system aspiration catheter 8 (cat8).During the procedure, the penumbra engine (engine) was unable to build vacuum with the canister and, therefore, the physician switched to a new canister.The procedure was then continued, and the physician used a cat8 to aspirate within the patient.After making a pass, the cat8 was removed and flushed on the back table.However, the proximal end of the cat8 was inadvertently kinked while being flushed.The procedure was then completed using a new cat8.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
