|
|
The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the internal carotid artery (ica) using penumbra smart coils (smart coils).During the procedure, the smart coil pusher wire became kinked during an attempt to advance it through its introducer sheath.As a result, the smart coil was unable to advance through its introducer sheath.The smart coil was therefore removed and was no longer used in the procedure.The procedure was completed using another smart coil.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
