MEDICAL EVENT - UNDERDOSE
The following information is an event summary via phone call from Vartanian Medical, PLLC:
On April 9, 2024, at 1240 EDT, a patient received only 73 percent of the intended dose of Y-90 TheraSpheres during a radioembolization. The prescribed dose was 3000 Gy and the dose received was approximately 2200 Gy. The physician described the cause of the event to be due to a smaller catheter needle used for treatment, which impeded the requisite flow.
A Medical Event may indicate potential problems in a medical facility's use of radioactive materials. It does not necessarily result in harm to the patient.
