Abstract

ABSTRACT

Background: Retro-peritoneal hemorrhage is an infrequent complication after percutaneous coronary angiography. It occurs when transfemoral approach is used. Without early diagnosis and prompt treatment it can lead to fetal consequences.

Case presentation: We report a case of a 44-year-old male who developed retro-peritoneal hemorrhage post coronary angiography and was successfully managed conservatively and was discharged.

Conclusion: Retro-peritoneal hemorrhage should be kept as a differential in patients who show signs of hypovolemic shock after coronary angiography. Non-contrast computed tomography (CT) scan of abdomen and pelvis should be done for its diagnosis.
