The Seldinger technique is the mainstay of vascular and other luminal access in interventional radiology. It provides a safe and simple way to access arteries, and the retrograde approach through the common femoral artery is the vascular radiologist’s basic approach serving both diagnostic and therapeutic roles in different patients. This technique is not without complications, and experience and improved equipment will undoubtedly eliminate this potential complication and prevent failure.
