A member asked:
Had heart cath through both femoral arteries two days ago for svt. now severe cramping from right groin through thigh. should i be concerned?

Yes: It sounds like you had an electrophysiology study not a heart cath. Regardless, there could be vascular trauma that could lead to clots forming in the thigh veins. You should go and get evaluated along with an ultrasound of the leg vasculature to be safe.
