Q

What is popliteal entrapment syndrome?

A

When the PopA is compressed by the gastrocneumius
Seen in younger males
Unilateral or bilateral
Over time it can lead to thrombosis or atherosclerotic changes

17
Q

Compartment syndrome:

A

extreme swelling that compresses arteries or veins, resulting in ischemia

18
Q

Treatment for compartment syndrome?

A

Fasciotomy – affected area is flayed open and left open to air until swelling decreases

19
Q

What’s compressed in thoracic outlet syndrome?

A

Subclavian artery, vein and brachial plexus

20
Q

Raynaud’s syndrome:

A

Digital arteries go into spasm when exposed to cold or high emotional conditions

21
Q

What’s the difference between primary and secondary Raynaud’s syndrome?

A

Primary- patients digits change color when exposed to cold temps. White –>blue–>red (rewarming period)
Secondary- permanent symptoms and seen in combo with underlying obstructive disease

22
Q

What does Takayasu’s arteritis effect?

A

Aortic arch and it’s branches

23
Q

What happens with coarctation of the aorta?

A

Hypertension and leg ischemia

24
Q

What pressures are obtained with lower extremity studies?

A

DPA and PTA (use the higher one)

25
Risk factors of peripheral arterial disease:
``` age* hypertension diabetes hyperlipidemia tobacco use ```
26
Main symptoms that suggest vascular disease is present?
claudication | ischemic rest pain (indicates severe disease)
27
Dependent rubor
when patient drops legs down and they fill with blood and turn red
28
Patients usually see ischemic rest pain when?
At night in bed
29
Six P's associated with acute occlusive diseae:
``` Pallor Pain Pulseless Paralysis Paresthesias Poikilothermia (inability to regulate body temp) ```
30
Skin color changes are usually seen with what type of disease, arterial or venous?
Arterial
31
In order to avoid the "cuff artifact", the cuff width must be _____% larger than the diameter of the underlying limb
>20
32
If the cuff is too wide for the limb it can result in a falsely ___ pressure reading. On the other hand, if the cuff is not wide enough for the limb, a falsely _________ pressure reading will result. The latter is more common in the lower extremities.
Low | Elevated
