A member asked:
I had a femoral artery blood clot that was "blasted out". afterwards my lower leg from just below the knee went numb. what cause cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Embolization: I suspect that by "blasted out" you had some sort of percutaneous thrombectomy. I worry that the clot travelled down your leg. If it is still numb, you need to be evaluated.
