If abis, pressures & waveforms at ankles are normal but tbi & pressure in left foot is abnormal (.46) & waveform is flat, & left foot is colder, bluer & hurts, is it possible to have dvt in left leg?

Artery: You are describing arterial blockage, not a dvt.

Not right test: This sounds more like arterial blockage. A DVT is venous and is detected differently. It sounds more like you are not getting good blood flow to your legs, feet, toes which is arterial disease not venous disease. Hope that helps.

Not: Dvt but could have artery blockage. Consult with vascular surgeon or cardiologist.
