In this case best initial step is always Heparin...... if no c/i to heparin..

you can go for TPA and heparin but best inital thing would be to do CT angio or MRA to delinate the site of occlusion and also start heparin. Consult vascular surgery---they will decide to go for Thrombolysis with TPA or Embolectomy.
