The Role of Pre-deployment Retraction in Decreasing Biopsy Clip Migration During Stereotactic Breast Biopsies

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Breast Biopsy
Interventions
Device: 5mm retraction of clip deployment apparatus.
Device: No retraction of clip deployment apparatus.
Registration Number
NCT04398537
Lead Sponsor
University of Alabama at Birmingham
Brief Summary

This will be a single-center prospective randomized control trial that is Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved. The study plans to enroll 250 female patients presenting to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) for stereotactic biopsy. This study is a prospective and will target approximately 250 patients. This will be a HIPPA-compliant randomized control trial planned on spanning approximately six months' time. Patients will be entered into the study only based on their already scheduled stereotactic biopsy procedure. Patients will be informed of the study and they will be offered the opportunity to participate or not participate in the study. Their participation is completely voluntary. This study will not involve any intervention that is not already a part of standard care. Patients will be randomized to two groups, one group that will undergo clip placement with approximately with a 5 mm retraction of the biopsy clip post-placement and one that will involve no retraction prior to deployment.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Breast Biopsy Patients Whose Clip Migrated Greater Than 10mm From the Biopsy Site.baseline through 1 hour (post biopsy mammogram/procedure)
Average Distance of Clip Migration for the Arm That Received 5mm Retraction.baseline through 1 hour (post biopsy mammogram/procedure)
Number of Breast Biopsy Patients Whose Clip Migrated Greater Than 10mm From the Biopsy Site.baseline through 1 hour (post biopsy mammogram/procedure)

This number of participants will be counted if their clip migrated more than 10mm from the biopsy site.
