Abstract

Vascular Access complications are a significant concern, particularly in procedures like interventional cardiology, and can lead to various issues such as bleeding, infection, thrombosis, and pseudoaneurysm formation. These complications can impact patient outcomes and increase healthcare costs. Technological advancement like ultrasound guidance and vascular closure devices aim to mitigate these risks, but they haven’t eliminated them entirely.
