Unlikely: Without a clotting disorder, and on thinners it would be unlikely to develop a new clot. You should discuss this with your treating doctor for further treatment options. Consider controlled graduated compression socks, over the knee

Hours after I had catheter angiogram to place a stent, I immediately developed a blood clot in my brachial artery (requiring surgery) How does that happen? Does the catheter damage the artery which then causes a blood clot?
