32
Q

Name the 4 treatment plans for pseudos

A

1) nothing
2) manual compression
3) thrombin injection
4) surgery

33
Q

During manual compression of a pseudo what part needs to be fully compressed

A

Neck

34
Q

During manual compression of a pseudo the transducer is firmly compressing for periods of how long

A

10 minutes

35
Q

Up to how long during manual compression of a pseudo can it take for it to thrombose

A

Up to an hour

36
Q

During thrombin injection of a pseudo it is injected into what part

A

The body

37
Q

During thrombin injection of a pseudo where is thrombin NOT injected into

A

The neck

38
Q

What would most likely be corrected using angioplasty

a) occluded popliteal artery
b) renal artery stenosis
c) aorta aneurysm
d) Leriche syndrome

A

b) renal artery stenosis

-Angioplasting and stenting are useful with focal stenosis in medium to larger size vessels

39
Q

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

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

c) Patient is unable to tolerate procedure
d) The width of the pseudoaneurysm base is <1.0 cm

A

d) The width of the pseudoaneurysm base is <1.0 cm
