What Does Lumps In Groin Post Cardiac Cath Up Suggest?

I recently had open heart surgery. I had a cardiac cath up through my groin area. After surgery (at some point I can't be sure) I noticed a lump about in that area. The cardiologist has identified it as a hernia. My question: is it only coincidental that it occurs in the same area (roughly) where the cath was done?
