A complication of coronary angiography: rare presentation of pseudo aneurysm with groin swelling
Keywords:
Iatrogenic hematoma, Pseudo aneurysm, CAG complication, Arterial rupture, Vascular ruptureAbstract
Pseudo aneurysm (PSA) is one of the most common vascular complications of cardiac and peripheral angiographic procedures. In this case we had an old man presenting with a large hard immobile pseudo pulsatile, severe painful swelling in groin region post21 days of coronary angiography.
