Vacuum-assisted breast biopsy: a critical review.
Vacuum-assisted biopsy is an image-guided technique introduced in 1995 that is thought to be superior to 14G automated-needle biopsy for the evaluation of non-palpable breast lesions. However, prospective randomised studies evaluating its accuracy are unavailable. We conducted a critical review of the currently available literature on the accuracy of vacuum-assisted biopsy and compared it with ...
متن کاملStereotactic vacuum-assisted breast biopsy: our experience and comparison with stereotactic automated needle biopsy.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate and compare the outcome of stereotactically guided percutaneous, directional, vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VAB) with the outcome of those performed with 14-gauge automated gun. METHODS Between January 2008 and January 2011, altogether 257 stereotactic biopsies were performed in our institute; 193 with the 14-gauge automated needle and 64 with a directional, vacuum-ass...
متن کاملMammographic features and correlation with biopsy findings using 11-gauge stereotactic vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (SVABB).
BACKGROUND Mammograms are assigned a BI-RADS (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System) category, which indicates the level of suspicion for cancer. OBJECTIVES (i) To evaluate the use of BI-RADS categories in a non-academic radiology practice based in a community hospital compared with local radiology private offices; (ii) to determine positive predictive value (PPV), sensitivity and specific...
متن کاملStereotactic vacuum-assisted breast biopsy under lateral decubitus position.
PURPOSE Stereotactic vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VAB) has been established as a standard method for histological diagnosis of microcalcification or nonpalpable breast lesions on mammography. Generally, the procedure has been done under the prone position or upright sitting position. We herein attempt to evaluate clinical utility of Stereotactic VAB under lateral decubitus position. METHODS...
متن کاملVacuum-assisted breast biopsy: more cores, more hematomas?
BACKGROUND Vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) is used for the diagnosis of non-palpable breast lesions. Hematoma has been recognized as the main complication of the procedure. Its main disadvantage is the underestimation rate. Generally speaking, approximately up to 24 cores are excised in most published series. It has been suggested that excision of more cores per lesion can reduce the under...
