To review various techniques and approach for percutaneous arterial access. To review the vascular complications associated with arterial access and closure and their imaging features. To review management of vascular complications related to percutaneous arterial access and closure. Briefly discuss techniques to minimise vascular complications related to arterial access and closure with emphasis on noninvasive imaging.

Introduction Techniques:Retrograde/Antegrade, Single/Double wall, Image guidance Approaches: Common femoral, Brachial, Radial, Axillary, Infrapopliteal Vascular Complications: Access and non arteriotomy closure device related: Hematoma, Pseudoaneurysm, Arteriovenous fistula, Dissection Arteriotomy closure device related: Acute thrombosis, Vessel obstruction due to intravascular foreign body, Pseudoaneurysm. Management: US guided thrombin injection Surgery Percutaneous interventions Techniques to minimise complications: Image guidance, pre and post physical examination, Noninvasive imaging. Summary
