It was reported that during the biopsy, the breast tissue was dense and the calcifications moved away from the incoming needle.As a result the doctor decided to retarget and was able to fire the device three times.After sampling and lavage, it was difficult to remove the needle from the patient breast.Ultimately, the device was removed and the marker was then inserted.Marker insertion was "not as easy as usual," but the marker placement was successful and accurate.Removing the needle introducer sheeth was difficult and looked "knurled" when the device was removed from the breast.
