Objective: This training has three objectives. The first goal is to learn all the important steps in access and closure, regarding all different access sites. Access and closure are crucial steps in these procedures to ensure patient safety and successful outcomes. Hostile groins, proximal superficial artery occlusion and all peripheral retrograde options will be discussed and taught. Different closure devices will be discussed and can be practised on as part of the course. The second goal is to learn about wire selection. With the large possibilities of wire selection and the different lesions that need to be treated, the different options will be discussed (wire escalation vs antegrade-retrograde technique). Algorithm of wire escalation and choices will be presented on the basis of existing cases. The different wires selection will be taught with hands-on training. Finally, the third goal is vessel preparation and specifically, how to optimise your vessel, minimize dissection and optimize outcomes.
