The ability to reliably gain access to the vascular system is fundamental to the performance of all endovascular diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Competence with a variety of different access sites and techniques is essential if one is to be able to address the full spectrum of vascular disease and diversity of clinical circumstances. Although open surgical access is sometimes indicated, most endovascular procedures can and should be performed percutaneously, because this is the least invasive technique. Understanding the advantages, risks, and potential pitfalls of the various approaches influences the site of access chosen and whether a percutaneous or open arteriotomy technique is used. Furthermore, this knowledge permits efforts to minimize attendant risks and facilitates recognition of problems when they do occur. The net result is a procedure unspoiled by failure to gain access or avoidable access site complications.
