Abstract
Stereotactic directional vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (ST DVAB) is an accurate biopsy
method. Marking the biopsy site with a clip is mandatory after ST DVAB, in case excision
is required. With the ST DVAB system we use, clip was delivered through the biopsy
probe. We report a case with malfunctioning of the ST DVAB system during the procedure,
and thus the clip could not be placed through the biopsy probe. To salvage the procedure,
we placed the clip to the biopsy site via a hemostasis introducer sheath.
