Iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysms are a rare complication of transfemoral vascular access. We present a case of a 65-year-old woman with a mechanical mitral valve requiring warfarin, who developed a femoral pseudoaneurysm four days after cardiac catheterization with femoral access. The patient developed a 17 x 10 x 17 cm rectus sheath hematoma and was treated with ultrasound-guided thrombin injection. Anticoagulation was held for three days while the patient was monitored for further bleeding and later restarted based on shared decision-making, given the risk of valve thrombosis. There are few guidelines regarding the re-initiation of anticoagulation in high-risk bleeding patients with mechanical mitral valves. Non-invasive coronary computed tomography angiography should be considered in patients on anticoagulation who require non-emergent cardiac ischemic evaluation.
