Abstract:
This paper describes a quality improvement initiative featuring the adoption of multiple access and closure techniques to assess "real world" outcomes. Although the study does not provide a scientific evidence base, it does highlight the changing platforms being adopted. Radial, micropuncture, and image guided access will hopefully become near universal in the coming decade.
