Cardiologist,  's  Response
hello , if the groin pain is in the same area where the puncture for the procedure was taken , you should consult your cardiologist as though small there is a definative possibility of hematoma (blood clot ) , which may compress the nerve to leg and based on clinical examination and sos sonography with doppler should guide furthur management , which is mostly conservative with some mediation .
