Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of the vacuum-assisted biopsy
(VAB) system in evacuating symptomatic haematomas after VAB excision of benign breast lesions.
We retrospectively analysed the data of eight patients with symptomatic and large haematomas
who were treated with VAB evacuation between 10 and 14 days after VAB excision. Only one case
underwent the procedure 24 h after VAB excision, due to the patient reporting intense pain, which
was relieved after application of the technique, even though it had to be done twice. This new clinical
application of the VAB system for evacuating symptomatic breast haematomas was successful in
all the cases in the present study. No technique-related complications were observed. Conclusions:
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to reveal that VAB evacuation of symptomatic
haematomas is safe, effective, quick and well-tolerated by patients.
