Abstract

An unusual case of consumptive coagulopathy due to hematoma formation, which occurred as a local complication of percutaneous transfemoral coronary arteriography, is reported. To our knowledge, this entity has not been reported in previous series. Prompt recognition of the syndrome through appropriate laboratory tests and early surgical intervention is indicated.
