Massive scrotal haematoma: a complication of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty.
Scrotal haematoma is an unusual complication following percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. It carries significant morbidity and causes extreme discomfort to the patient. We describe the case of a 75-year-old diabetic man who developed this complication. Recommendations are made for investigation and management of this problem, which is so infrequently encountered in clinical practice.
