Abstract

The present study aimed to explore the clinical characteristics and management of retroperitoneal hematoma (RPH) after invasive intervention during a 12‑year period in China. A retrospective review of patients with RPH after various invasive interventions was conducted at the China National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases. A total of 42 patients with a mean age of 63.1±2.5 years were continuously recruited in the study between January 2007 and September 2018. The incidence, manifestations and management of RPH were analyzed. A total of 20 patients had punctures in the femoral arterial access under the inguinal ligament and 5 patients had punctures above the inguinal ligament. The majority of RPH occurred within 24 h after intervention, while some occurred after postoperative 24 h. Pain was the most common symptom in patients with RPH. All patients who underwent intervention presented a reduction in hemoglobin (HB) concentration. The overall incidence of nosocomial infection was 38.1% and mortality was 7.1%. The findings demonstrated that RPH is a rare complication after invasive intervention of cardiovascular diseases with non‑specific clinical manifestations. The reduction of HB concentration was a vital manifestation for RPH. Most RPH cases could be treated by conservative treatment and blood transfusion. A puncture in the femoral arterial access under the inguinal ligament may result in RPH.
