Dubious, when they did the embolectomy part of the clot (collagen plug) broke off and traveled down to the outside calf and lodged itself. The doctor told me that if he was to go after it he would destroy the leg worse than if he left it alone.

Could that have caused foot drop???

Thank you sooo much for the answers because you all are helping more than you all know!
Allen,

I am not a vascular specialist. But the pathophysiology sounds plausible...bring this up with a vascular surgeon. They may shed some light on this for you!
