Evaluation of the Stereotactic 8G Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy in the Histologic Evaluation of Suspicious Mammography Findings (BI-RADS IV)

Abstract

The 11-G SVAB has proven to be a perfect adjunct to the existing breast biopsy methods. The new 8G SVAB speeds up the method when used for the same size of lesions and enables the user to representatively biopsy lesions up to 3 cm in diameter. The method is still minimally invasive; however, the amount of hematomas as well as clinically relevant complications is increased.
