AB Executing  safe  and  effective  endovascular  trauma  management  requires  the  necessary  endovascular  infrastructure  and  pre-established  local  institutional  protocols  or  care  pathways  established  by  key  stakeholders.  These  stakeholders  include  representatives  from  trauma  and  acute  care  surgery,  vascular  and  endovascular  surgery,  interventional  radiology,  neurointerventional  radiology,  diagnostic  radiology,  and  emergency  and  critical  care  medicine.  Such  management  also  requires  careful  case  preparation,  an  understanding  of  available  endovascular  equipment,  and  excellent  endovascular  diagnostic  and  therapeutic  technical  skills.  This  chapter  introduces  readers  to  important  endovascular  case  preparation  considerations,  endovascular  resuscitation  and  trauma  management  (EVTM),1  different  physical  settings  for  performing  endovascular  trauma  management,  vascular  access,  angiography  (i.e.,  arteriography  and  venography),  and  methods  of  sealing  the  vascular  access  site,  including  percutaneous  arterial  closure  devices.  We  conclude  by  summarizing  complications  specific  to  angiography  and  endovascular  trauma  management.  As  there  have  been  limited  studies  conducted  on  the  above  issues  in  trauma  patients,  some  of  this  information  is  derived  from  the  vascular  and  endovascular  surgery  and  interventional  radiology  or  cardiology  literature.  The  types  of  endovascular  equipment  available,  including  sheaths,  wires,  catheters,  balloon  occlusion  and  embolization  devices,  and  stents  are  summarized  in  Chapter  5.
