Angioplasy and hematoma

Posted By Larry Doyle on December 24, 1998 at 09:49:34:







I had angioplasty a week ago and when I saw the cardiologist yesterday he said
I had a hematoma and he prescribed an anti-biotic.  What is the connection
between a hematoma and anti-biotics.  There is also a swelling in the
groin area where the incision was made and a hematoma from above my groin
area to above my knee.  Is this normal or should I be worried?  After a
short walk my feet and ankles swell up.  I appreciate any information
you could give me.
