Vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) is a minimally invasive procedure and has become an important treatment method. Although VABB is a minimally invasive procedure, it might cause complications, particularly those associated with blood vessels. In this article, we aimed to describe a 35-year-old female who experienced pseudoaneurysm post-VABB and was successfully treated with embolization. She presented to the hospital with a suspected left breast tumor. The pathology report after biopsy confirmed fibroadenoma, and the patient underwent VABB to remove the tumor. One hour after VABB, the patient described pain and swelling at the location of the removed tumor. Breast ultrasound revealed a hematoma and pseudoaneurysm. The bleeding did not stop following the application of manual compression. Breast hemorrhage was controlled by endovascular embolization. Pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon complication of VABB, and embolization represents an effective method for the management of breast pseudoaneurysm.

Article Synopsis
- Abraxane is a common chemotherapy drug used for various cancers, but it has several adverse events (AEs) that need careful monitoring, prompting a study on its safety using data from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) from 2004 to 2023.
- Over 10,000 reports of AEs related to Abraxane were analyzed, revealing that blood disorders were the most frequent, with serious outcomes like hospitalization occurring in 36% of cases and deaths in nearly 30%.
- The study underscores the need for ongoing market surveillance to monitor Abraxane's safety profile and identifies both known and new adverse reactions, highlighting the importance of continuous vigilance in patient

Introduction: Breast pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication following breast interventional procedures such as core biopsies and vacuum-assisted biopsies. The occurrence of pseudoaneurysm increases with the conditions of increased breast vascularity like cancer, pregnancy and lactation.
Case Report: We present two cases of pseudoaneurysm formation secondary to core biopsies of the breasts.

We present the case of a forty-year-old asymptomatic female with no personal or family history of breast cancer, who underwent a core needle biopsy (CNB) following the identification of a focal asymmetry in the right breast on screening mammography. Eight months later, a prominent adjacent vascular structure with a round outpouching was detected on breast ultrasound, confirmed as a post-biopsy pseudoaneurysm. Breast pseudoaneurysms, although exceedingly rare, result from inadvertent vessel puncture during core needle biopsies, particularly when larger gauge needles are used.
