Friday, June 2, 2023

Precision IR, a Division of Michigan Healthcare Professionals, P.C., a medical practice specializing in vascular and interventional radiology, performed the first outpatient OBL (office-based lab) Y-90 radioembolization procedure in Michigan on Thursday, May 25, 2023.

Key Points: 
  • Precision IR, a Division of Michigan Healthcare Professionals, P.C., a medical practice specializing in vascular and interventional radiology, performed the first outpatient OBL (office-based lab) Y-90 radioembolization procedure in Michigan on Thursday, May 25, 2023.
  • To perform the procedure in an OBL setting, the facility must have the required imaging equipment and procedure rooms, along with the processes to safely handle nuclear materials.
  • Clinical experience has shown that the vast majority of Y-90 radioembolization patients do not need to be kept overnight for observation; they are able to return home shortly after the two-hour procedure.
  • “But cancer patients appreciate the option of having their treatment in a more relaxed and customer-focused environment.”
    Precision IR is now scheduling Y-90 radioembolization patients.
