What Can Cause A Bruise Around An Angiogram Puncture Site?

i had a stent scheduled for my left illiac because a ct scan reported it to be 80% blocked. the int. cardiologist. said there was no blockage and proceeded to do a angiogram the puncture site was clamped off with a new device called a mynxz . i have had previous stent but this was the most discomfort and pain i ha have ever had along with severe bruising any thoughts on the mynxz device or my pain and bruising?

Hi,

Bruising may be due to bleeding into subcutaneous tissue lead to hematoma or it may be due to surrounding vascular structure damage. It may takes time to recover about 2-3 weeks.

Apply pressure and compared to manual compression, vascular closure devices close the access site faster and help patient comfort by allowing the patient to get out of bed and be discharged from the hospital sooner.

Device is designed to provide gentle and safe closure without cinching, tugging or potentially uncomfortable manual compression.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
