Purpose: To evaluate the correlation of scar-formations after vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) with different VAB-systems and needle-sizes and peri-interventional bleeding/hematoma Methods and Materials: Between 01/2008–12/2009, 479 patients underwent VAB under stereotactic-guidance, using the MammotomeR-system with 11/8-gauge and ATECR-system with 12/9-gauge, whereas in 178 cases with representative benign histology no surgical-biopsy after VAB was performed and at least a 2-plane-follow-up-mammogram after 6 month post-VAB was available. Bleeding during intervention, hematoma post-intervention and scar-tissue was s…
