ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Cardiac catheterization via the transfemoral approach can be associated with access site bleeding complications such as inguinal hematoma, pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistula and retroperitoneal hematoma. Scrotal hematoma is a rare presentation of bleeding complications after transfemoral cardiac catheterization. We report a case of this rare complication. CASE PRESENTATION A 63-year-old male with previous coronary artery bypass surgery underwent percutaneous coronary intervention via transfemoral approach. Few hours after removal of the femoral sheath, he developed a big scrotal hematoma and hemodynamic deterioration. The patient responded successfully to conservative treatment and discharged from hospital after three days in a stable condition.CONCLUSIONS:
Bleeding complications after transfemoral cardiac catheterization can rarely present as scrotal hematoma. The management of this complication is usually conservative, and only few cases may require surgical treatment.
