most catastrophic of AA complications

mortality rate at least 50%

some contained in the retroperitoneum and are chronic

retroperitoneal fluid collections are the most common findings

A

aortic rupture

56
Q

reverse

prevalent in most large AAA

thrombus poorly attached and friable meaning it can be distant source of emboli

thrombus has no bearing on whether the AAA will rupture or not

A

mural thrombus AAA

57

reverse

variant of atherosclerotic AAA

wall of aneurysm is thickened and surrounded by fibrosis

surgical repair has high mortality rate

pain present in 84%

A

inflammatory AA

58
Q

reverse

focal dilation of aorta larger than 3cm

elongate as the grow

most deflect to left or kink anteriorly or both

aventitia is generallly echogenic from adjacent fibrofatty tissue

mural thrombus is usually low to med echogenicity and makes up most of wall

intimal lining may be smooth or irregula with calcifications

A

document wall type: calcified plaque, flowing blood, soft plaque or well established plaque

A

60
Q

patent channel should be documented

look for dissection

look at both kidneys checking flow of renal arteries, especially if kidney is shrunken of if patient has hypertension
