# Scrotal hematoma caused by femoral artery puncture during ablation

## TL;DR

Scrotal hematoma is a rare but possible complication after a femoral artery puncture during ablation procedures.

## Contribution

The paper highlights the clinical presentation and management of scrotal hematoma as a rare complication.

## Key findings

- Scrotal hematoma can occur without an associated inguinal hematoma.
- Conservative management is typically used, though surgical intervention may be needed in active bleeding cases.

## Abstract

Scrotal hematoma is a rare complication of bleeding after femoral artery puncture. It often occurs without an associated inguinal hematoma, making it difficult to detect immediately after the procedure. Management of scrotal hematoma is usually conservative; however, surgical intervention or IVR may be necessary in cases of active bleeding.
