%X A rare case of clinical complication following a percutaneous coronary intervention is presented. A femoral vascular access was chosen to treat a coronary lesion with a stent implantation. This femoral vascular access, however, resulted in a pyogenic infection of the ipsilateral hip joint that was not properly diagnosed for an extended post-interventional period. The hip joint completely deteriorated before its underlying cause was identified. This case report illustrates the importance of recognizing potential endovascular complications independently of their frequency
