ABSTRACT = {Scrotal hematoma is a rare and unusual complication of
transfemoral cardiac catheterization. We describe the case
of a 43-year-old man who presented with a delayed
retroperitoneal hemorrhage and massive scrotal hematoma following cardiac catheterization. Emergent groin
exploration was performed with ligation of the inferior
epigastric artery and evacuation of the scrotal hematoma.
Urological sequelae from transfemoral arterial access are
rare. However, scrotal hematoma may occur if bleeding
occurs between anatomic fascial planes.},
