The patient was undergoing a coil embolization procedure in the anterior communicating artery (acom) using penumbra smart coils (smart coils), non-penumbra coils, a non-penumbra stent and a non-penumbra microcatheter.During the procedure, the physician placed the stent in the target vessel via the patient¿s neck to prevent coil migration, followed by thirty-one coils and one smart coil.Subsequently, while attempting to advance the next smart coil into the microcatheter, it would not advance within its introducer sheath; therefore, the smart coil was removed.The procedure was completed using other smart coils, other non-penumbra coils, and the same microcatheter.There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
