What Causes Lower Abdominal Ache After Insertion Of Catheter?
Hi, I am 44, 5 feet and 120 pounds. I had A Ross procedure 12 years ago and I had an angioplasty last Tuesday because of a recurring chest pain. I am having an awful pain on the lower part of my tummy on the right side where the catheter was inserted. Is that normal?

Hi.This is not normal at all.
The pain in the right power abdomen after this angioplasty is indicative of a large hematoma.
Get a color doppler and ultrasonography done to confirm the diagnosis of either hematoma or dissection of the vessel.
Get admitted, for observation and active management is required.
A strict rest and management of the stable hemodynamics may resolve this on its own .
