Clip migration within 8 days of 11-gauge vacuum-assisted stereotactic breast biopsy: case report.
A 49-year-old woman underwent 11-gauge vacuum-assisted stereotactic biopsy of a cluster of indeterminate calcifications in the left breast. A clip was deployed accurately at the biopsy site as confirmed on mammograms obtained immediately after biopsy. The patient returned 8 days later for additional stereotactic biopsies of the left breast. Repeat mammograms revealed that the clip deployed at the original biopsy site had migrated 5 cm inferiorly.
