MR imaging-guided 10-gauge vacuum-assisted breast biopsy: histological characterisation

Abstract

MRI-guided biopsy of breast lesions using a handheld vacuum-assisted device is a safe and effective method for the workup of suspicious lesions seen on breast MRI alone.

MR-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy in the management of incidental enhancing lesions detected by breast MR imaging

“…Dopo aver rimosso il mandrino previa anestesia cutanea (lidocaina cloridrato diluita al 2%, 10 cc) e incisione con bisturi, è stata inserita la sonda per i prelievi. Il prelievo è stato compiuto utilizzando un dispositivo palmare dotato di sistema generante vuoto a pressione, alimentato da batteria al litio e controllato da tastiera integrata a sfi oramento (VACORA VAB system, BARD France SAS, Voisins Le Bretonneux, Francia) [15,16]. I prelievi sono stati eseguiti con ago da 10 gauge per esame istologico secondo multipli giri coassiali, generalmente in numero di tre.…”

“…After removing the stylet, the site was anaesthetised (10 cc 2% lidocaine hydrochloride) and incised with a scalpel, and the biopsy probe was inserted. Biopsies were obtained using a handheld device equipped with a vacuum-generating system powered by a lithium battery and controlled through an integrated touch pad (VACORA VAB system, BARD France SAS, Voisins Le Bretonneux, France) [15,16]. Samples were collected with a 10-gauge needle with multiple (usually three) coaxial passes.…”

Magnetic resonance-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy: results in 100 Japanese women

“…[11][12][13][14][15][16] and the United States 17-21 to avoid unnecessary surgical biopsy. In contrast, US-guided biopsy is performed for MRI-detected lesions in Japan.…”

Cost-effectiveness analysis of two vacuum-assisted breast biopsy systems: Mammotome and Vacora

“…MX guidance was reserved for microcalcifications, whereas MRI guidance was used for lesions visible on MRI alone [11][12][13]. Lesions were located using methods previously described in the literature for each of the imaging modalities [14][15][16].…”

“…La guida stereotassica è stata riservata ai casi di microcalcificazioni, mentre quella RM per lesioni rilevate alla sola risonanza magnetica [11][12][13]. La localizzazione delle lesioni è avvenuta per ogni guida strumentale con modalità già descritte in letteratura [14][15][16].…”
