A

Heart
Aorta
Large arteries

18
Q

Instances of paradoxical embolus. Arterial Occlusion from A venous thrombus

A

Via patent foramen ovale or septal defect

19
Q

Treatment of acute limb ischemia of less than 2 weeks esp when surgery is contraindicated or there is poor access

A

Intra arterial thrombolytic therapy with reteplase, tenecteplase

20
Q

Treatment of acute limb ischemia when it’s more than 2 weeks

A

Percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy

21
Q

Complex symptom resulting from compression of neurovascula bundle at neck and shoulder area

A

Throacic outlet compression syndrome

22
Q

Venous compression causing thrombosis of subclavian and axillary veins associated with effort

A

Paget- schroetter syndrome

23
Q

Occurs when gastrocnemius or popliteal muscle compressed popliteal artery causing claudication and triggered by ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion

A

Popliteal artery entrapment

24
Q

Most common peripheral artery aneurysm

A

Popliteal artery aneurysm

25
Q

Common clinical presentation of popliteal artery aneurysm and when is surgical repair indicated

A

Most common clinical manifestation is limb ischemia

Repair is indicted when diameter exceeds 2-3 cm

26
Q

Compression of large arteriovenous fistula causes reflex slowing of the heart rate

A

Nicoladoni- Branham sign

27
Q

Rare case of arteriovenous fistula

A

Rupture of arterial aneurysm into vein

28
Q

Characterized by episodic digital ischemia manifested by sequential development of digital blanching, cyanosis and rubor of finger or toes after cold exposure

A

Raynauds phenomenon

29
Q

Drugs implicated in raynauds phenomenon

A

Ergot preparations
Methysergide
Beta adrenergic receptor antagonist
Chemotherapeutic agents: bleomycin, vinblastine, cisplatin, gemcitabine

30
Q

Condition characterized by arterial vasoconstriction and secondary dilatation of capillaries and venues in hand and less frequently the feet. How is it different from Raynauds phenomenon?

A

Acrocyanosis. It’s persistent and no blanching compared to episodic in Raynauds
