Get it looked at: It's hard to imagine that a cardiac cath site from last year is now bleeding when it was fine before. Depending on the reason you are on coumadin, (warfarin) inr of 3 is not that high. Patients with mechanical mitral valves need inr around 3.5. But sudden pain in the femoral region continuing for 2 days should get seen by your doctor. It could be something else. And though unlikely i'm not saying impossible.
