Iatrogenic Percutaneous Vascular Injuries: Clinical Presentation, Imaging, and Management

Semin intervent Radiol 2015; 32: 108-122DOI: 10.1055/s-0035-1549375Vascular interventional radiology procedures are relatively safe compared with analogous surgical procedures, with overall major complication rates of less than 1%. However, major vascular injuries resulting from these procedures may lead to significant morbidity and mortality.
