This is a (b)(6) female who has a known history of (b)(6).She has undergone (b)(6) treatment.She has been followed and found to have an enlarging lesion in the right posterolateral portion of the right lobe of the liver.This lesion underwent biopsy.On standing the patient up, she became orthostatic and tachycardic and there was concern about post biopsy bleeding.The patient went for a stat cta where there was seen to be some extravasation and she then went for a stat arterial embolization.During an interventional radiology procedure, the image intensifier in the interventional suite lowered down and touched the patient¿s abdomen.Normally, upon touching the patient, the device then has a sensor that functions and has the image intensifier raise up from touching the patient.This day, the sensor did not work and the image intensifier stayed against the patient causing her some pain.The image intensifier was immediately lifted off the patient by the radiology tech standing next to her.The maintenance company was called and the part was replaced.
