Groin bump: This needs to be evaluated by your doctor as soon as possible -- he or she may order an ultrasound to make sure you do not have a pseudoaneurysm at the catheterization site in your groin.

Inflammation: Inflammation can be present in the groin after percutaneous procedures. Sometimes a small nerve can be irritated. If bruising, increased size or pulsations are present in the groin then call doctor who performed procedure for an ultrasound. Otherwise it can wait until your follow-up appointment. Should be okay to ice the groin for comfort.

That is expected: There are many different closure devices. Feeling a bump under the skin for 7-10 days is not uncommon. It will be sore for several days after the procedure.
