Your writing in the above makes it hard to follow what you're saying. Could you please rewrite this more clearly?

I hope so because within the last two weeks my artery in my left leg between the knee and the groin area has started to hurt for some unknown reason and I think it is because of that procedure. Should I be worried about this pain?
It comes and goes and never lasts more than an hour or so. On a scale of 1 - 10, I would give the pain a 5 when it occurs. I need some opinions here Doc's.

I wouldn't be so confident that the pain is an artery (or vascular), or that it is directly related to the surgery. What brings about the pain? Certain leg movements? Standing? Nothing obvious?
Pain is your body telling you that it isn't liking something. I suggest you start with a call/visit to your primary care provider and/or the surgeon who did the coarc repair and move on from there.
