  • Title: Postcatheterization retroperitoneal hematoma due to spontaneous lumbar arterial hemorrhage.
    Author: Kalinowski EA, Trerotola SO.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 1998; 21(4):337-9. PubMed ID: 9688804.
    Abstract:
    A patient developed retroperitoneal hemorrhage after cardiac catheterization, initially thought to be a complication of the puncture. Diagnostic evaluation revealed the source to be spontaneous bleeding from a lumber artery, which was successfully embolized. Spontaneous hemorrhage is a recognized complication of anticoagulation therapy and must be considered in the differential diagnosis even in the face of a seemingly obvious source of bleeding.
