21
Q

An oscillating or helical pattern ( low velocity and to and fro) indicates

A

brain death

22
Q

A proximal/brachiocephalic obstruction or occlusion causing “steal” of blood from vertebrals is called

A

Subclavian steal’

23
Q

Which side are subclavian steals more common on

A

Left side

24
Q

For a subclavian steal brachial pressures will have how much of a difference

A

> 20 mmHg

25
Q

For a subclavian steal the lower pressure is on what side as the disease

a) same
b) opposite

A

a) same

26
Q

Retrograde flow in the vertebral artery indicates what

A

occlusion of ipsilateral proximal subclavian or innominate

27
Q

Bidirectional vertebral flow (pre-steal) indicates what

A

stenosis of ipsilateral proximal subclavian or innominate

28
Q

What is disease is called the pulseless disease

A

Takayasu arteritis

29
Q

________ _______ is inflammation of superficial temporal artery

A

Temporal arteritis

30
Q

Takayasu arteritis finding is a _____ vessel

A

donut

31
Q

Temporal arteritis finding is a _____ inside of vessels

A

halo

32
Q

________ _____ can be found 6-24 months post op

A

Neointimal hyperplasia

33
Q

While interrogating the proximal ICA during carotid duplex, a PSV of 325cm/s and EDV of 142 cm/s is documented. How would these findings be interpreted?

a) 50-79% DR
b) >75% area reduction
c) >90% DR
d) 80-99% DR

A

d) 80-99% DR

34
Q

What could be a likely etiology of dampened waveforms documented in the bilateral CCA’s

a) decreased hemoglobin
b) right sided heart failure
c) poor cardiac output
d) high cardiac output

A

c) poor cardiac output

35
Q

The PSV is 282 cm/s and the EDV is 97 cm/s. What is the diameter reduction?

a) 30-49% DR
b) 80-99% DR
c) 50-79% DR
d) >90% DR

A

c) 50-79% DR

36
Q

What is the most likely significance of carotid velocities greater than 150 cm/s in both CCA’s

a) poor cardiac output
b) high cardiac output
c) >50% diameter reduction bilaterally
d) carotid hyperemia

A

b) high cardiac output

  • Bilateral flow alterations in the carotids indicate something systemic or cardiac. Accelerated, or higher velocity, flow bilaterally would most likely be caused by high cardiac output. Decreased blood viscosity can also have a similar effect
37
Q

Which sonographic finding is most consistent with a right subclavian steal?

a) retrograde flow in the left vertebral artery
b) retrograde flow in the right vertebral artery
c) tardus parvus in the right CCA
d) tardus parvus in the right vertebral artery

A

b) retrograde flow in the right vertebral artery
-Subclavian steal is identified when there is retrograde flow in the ipsilateral (same side) vertebral artery

38
Q

In the case of vertebral artery occlusion, which vessel is likely to be enlarged

a) ipsilateral ECA
b) contralateral internal mammary artery
c) contralateral vertebral artery
d) ipsilateral subclavian artery

A

c) contralateral vertebral artery

39
Q

A 48 year old male presents with retrograde flow in the left vertebral artery. This is most likely related to occlusion of the

a) left subclavian artery
b) right vertebral artery
c) right subclavian artery
d) innominate artery

A

a) left subclavian artery

40
Q

A unilateral decrease or absence of diastolic flow in the CCA is indicative of

a) proximal disease of the aortic arch
b) poor cardiac output
c) distal obstructive disease
d) AVF

A

c) distal obstructive disease

41
Q

A high resistance flow pattern in the distal portion of the ICA suggests which of the following conditions?

a) Proximal CCA disease
b) Proximal ICA disease
c) Intracranial AV fistula
d) Severe distal ICA stenosis

A

d) Severe distal ICA stenosis
