The patient was undergoing a thrombectomy procedure in the m1 of the middle cerebral artery (mca) using a penumbra system jet 7 reperfusion catheter (jet7), velocity delivery microcatheter (velocity) and a non-penumbra guiding sheath. During the procedure, the physician dilated the radial artery, advanced the guiding sheath along with the dilator directly through the skin to the internal carotid artery (ica) and then removed the dilator. While advancing the jet7 and velocity through the check-flo hemostatic valve on the guiding sheath, the physician experienced resistance and the jet7 would no longer advance; therefore, it was removed. Upon removal of the jet7, it was noticed that the jet7 stretched and the distal end of the jet7 broke off. It was reported that the broken piece of the jet7 was stuck in the proximal end of the guiding sheath with the broken piece of the jet7 hanging out of the distal end of the guiding sheath. The physician then removed the whole system from the patient with both the guiding sheath and remaining broken piece of the jet7. The procedure was completed using a penumbra system ace 68 reperfusion catheter (ace68), same check-flo hemostatic valve and a new guiding sheath. It was reported that after the dilator was removed from the guiding sheath, the check-flo hemostatic valve contained some coil wind that the physician believed may have been stuck in the valve from the broken jet7. There was no report of an adverse effect to the patient.
