Abstract
Femoral nerve palsy is a rare, but significant complication following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for conditions such as myocardial infarction. We present a case of a 61-year-old male patient who presented for cardiac rehabilitation following an emergent PCI procedure for cardiac arrest secondary to ST-elevation myocardial infarction. He later developed right lower extremity weakness and severe neuropathic pain on arrival to the acute rehabilitation unit. After physical examination and electrodiagnostic studies, he was determined to have a right femoral nerve neuropathy. This case report highlights the clinical course, physical examination/electrodiagnostic findings, and subsequent pain management of femoral nerve palsies.
