My mother had a Cardiac Catherization done due to Blood clots. Three days after the Catherization she felt a bump, the size of a grape, on her upper thigh. Two days later the bump grew to the size of a large melon. Any ideas on how to make the hematoma go away? Do you know if it's possible to drain even though she is on blood thinners?
This size of haematoma absolutely needs surgical drainage with possible closure of any possible leak.
You should not delay any more and you should take her straight back to the unit . With the size you described she may very well need a Blood Transfusion as well.
Best of Luck.
I am an MD.
