Initial Experience with Upright Tomosynthesis and Stereotactic Core Biopsy in a Community Breast Center

چکیده
Severity of vasovagal episodes, degree of migration and probable causes for margin positivity were assessed in all patients of wire (1145) and seed (180) localisations since 2012. Success of localization procedure was based on radiological as well as pathological end points. Final outcome parameters for those with severe vasovagal episodes were, (i) need for multiple seed/ supplemental wires, (ii) delays/rescheduling subsequent surgery, (iii) additional margins/re-excision and (iv) additional postoperative imaging to assess residual disease. It was hypothesized that patients were predisposed to greater risk of vasovagal episodes on the day of the surgery owing to higher anxiety level and fasting status. Information about pain scale and level of satisfaction was retrieved from patient surveys.

device is a widely used technique for the diagnosis of nonpalpable breast lesions discovered by mammography (1-3). An add-on device attached to a regular mammography unit can be used for a stereotactic breast biopsy. Its advantages are that it is less expensive than a prone table and extra space for the equipment is unnecessary (3). There is a paucity of reports on the effectiveness of the use ...
