Call ur Cardiologist: As part of your discharge instructions, you should have been instructed to contact your Cardiologist for worsening pain at insertion site as well as increase/worsening bruising. Depending upon time relative to procedure, this could be due to infection (especially if red & hot) or bleeding. If you're concerned, contact your Cardiologist (or whoever performed catheterization.
