    Abstract:
    Breast cancer is a serious disease in women. We estimated the global technical success rate and complication rates of percutaneous vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB). PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus databases were retrieved up to July 2018 to find studies in which technical success rate and complication rates of VABB were available. Pooled rates were calculated according to location mode (ultrasonography [US] or mammography) and needle type (8- or 11-gauge Mammotome probes). Of the 36 articles with 20 868 cases, we found the pooled technical success rate 0.9999(0.9997, 1.0000) (I2 = 17.1%, P = .187) and low complication risks including haematoma 0.1092(0.0748, 0.1437) (I2 = 98.3%, P < .001), pain 0.0738(0.0334, 0.1141) (I2 = 95.9%, P < .001), vasovagal reflex 0.0281(0.0035, 0.0527) (I2 = 92.5%, P < .001), and infection 0.0027(-0.0019, 0.0073) (I2 = 49.8%, P = .113). In this systematic review and meta-analysis, the pooled data suggested that VABB with US or mammography could be promising for diagnosis and treatment of breast disease. Further studies were necessary to identify strategies for these findings.
