Bruise post angio: This is not uncommon, but varies. Watch to see it does not grow. If lump appears and grows contact the person who did the angio. You bled a little into tissue there.

Other symptoms?: Hematomas are the most common vascular access site complication, occurring in 5%-25% of patients who undergo groin puncture. The risk of pseudoaneurysms is lower. If the bruise grows or is accompanied by firmness/bulging of the skin in the area, numbness, or pain, you should have it checked out sooner. http://www.aacn.org/wd/Cetests/media/C1253.pdf
