An I-125 seed had been implanted on June 9, 2016 to mark an area of the breast for subsequent examination and surgical explantation on June 13, 2016. However, the patient experienced a stroke during the interim days and the planned surgery for explantation aborted. Given the patient's condition it was determined that the risk associated with surgery to the patient was greater than the risk associated with not performing the seed retrieval. Initial estimates of the effective whole body dose are 3.7 Rem and dose to the breast 73 Rad. No permanent functional damage to the organ/tissue is expected as a result of the inability to remove the source. If the patient's condition improves and the opportunity arises, the seed may still be explanted at a much later date.</br>IL Item Number: IL16004</br>A Medical Event may indicate potential problems in a medical facility's use of radioactive materials.
