The Open Cardiovascular Medicine Journal 28 Feb 2013 RESEARCH ARTICLE DOI: 10.2174/1874192401307010016

Abstract

Retroperitoneal hemorrhage (RPH) is an infrequent but serious complication of transfemoral percutaneous procedures. We present 2 cases and review the literature regarding the incidence, risk factors, clinical features and complications of RPH. We propose a management strategy for this problem emphasizing an anatomical based interventional approach if the patient does not stabilize with volume resuscitation.

Keywords: Femoral artery access complications, Retroperitoneal hemorrhage..
