Name the 4 treatment plans for pseudos
1) nothing
2) manual compression
3) thrombin injection
4) surgery
During manual compression of a pseudo what part needs to be fully compressed
Neck
During manual compression of a pseudo the transducer is firmly compressing for periods of how long
10 minutes
Up to how long during manual compression of a pseudo can it take for it to thrombose
Up to an hour
During thrombin injection of a pseudo it is injected into what part
The body
During thrombin injection of a pseudo where is thrombin NOT injected into
The neck
What would most likely be corrected using angioplasty
a) occluded popliteal artery
b) renal artery stenosis
c) aorta aneurysm
d) Leriche syndrome
b) renal artery stenosis
-Angioplasting and stenting are useful with focal stenosis in medium to larger size vessels
What artery is occluded if the bypass graft was placed from the right femoral artery to the left femoral artery
a) left common iliac artery
b) right external iliac artery
c) aorta
d) left femoral artery
a) left common iliac artery
-A femoral to femoral bypass is used in the presence of unilateral iliac occlusion. The proximal anastomosis is found on the side the blood is coming from, in this case the right side. The distal anastomosis is the leg that would be receiving the bypass and the same side as disease
