Q

Budd-Chiari syndrome demonstrates thrombosis of the:

a. Hepatic veins
b. Hepatic arteries
c. Portal veins
d. Inferior vena cava (IVC)

A

ANS: A
Budd-Chiari syndrome demonstrates thrombosis of the hepatic veins. Budd-Chiari syndrome is rare, and 30% of patients with this syndrome are idiopathic. The presence of a “typical” blood flow in the hepatic veins permits the exclusion of Budd-Chiari syndrome.

Q

The inferior mesenteric artery distributes blood to the:

a. Left transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid, and rectum
b. Ascending colon, sigmoid, and rectum
c. Descending colon
d. Ascending colon and rectum

A

ANS: A
The inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) distributes blood to the descending colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum. The IMA has three main branches: left colic, sigmoid, and superior rectal arteries. These branches supply the transverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum

Q

The vessel that arises from the anterior aortic wall and takes a parallel course to the aorta is the:

a. Hepatic artery
b. Renal artery
c. Superior mesenteric artery
d. Inferior mesenteric artery

A

ANS: C
The superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and the celiac axis arise from the anterior aortic wall; of these, only the SMA takes a parallel course to the aorta.

Q

. Which one of the following vascular structures courses between the aorta and SMA?

a. Left renal vein
b. Celiac trunk

A

ANS: A
The left renal vein flows from the renal hilum, posterior to the SMA, and anterior to the aorta to enter the lateral wall of the IVC

Q

. Renal arteries branch from the lateral wall of the aorta:

a. At the level of L4
b. Superior to the SMA
c. Superior to the hepatic arteries
d. Inferior to the SMA

A

ANS: D

Renal arteries arise just inferior to the SMA at the level of the first lumbar vertebra.

17
Q

The IVC courses anteriorly to enter the:

a. Right ventricle
b. Left atrium
c. Right coronary sinus
d. Right atrium

A

ANS: D
The IVC ascends vertically through the retroperitoneal space on the right side of the aorta, posterior to the liver, and pierces the central tendon of the diaphragm at the level of the eighth thoracic vertebra to enter the right atrium of the heart.

18
Q

Which vascular structure is used as a landmark in locating the celiac trunk?

a. Common bile duct
b. Common hepatic artery
c. Superior mesenteric artery
d. Gastroduodenal artery

A

ANS: C

The superior mesenteric artery may be used as a landmark in locating the celiac trunk.

19
Q

Which one of the following vascular structures relates to the medial and posterior borders or to the pancreatic body and tail?

a. Splenic artery
b. Hepatic artery
c. Superior mesenteric artery
d. Splenic vein

A

ANS: D
The splenic vein passes anteriorly to the aorta and IVC and generally relates to the medial and posterior borders of the pancreatic body and tail

20
Q

The gastroduodenal artery is a branch of the:

a. Common hepatic artery
b. Left gastric artery
c. Splenic artery
d. Superior mesenteric artery

A

ANS: A

The common hepatic artery branches into the gastroduodenal artery and the proper hepatic artery.

21
Q

The most common cause of abdominal aneurysms is:

a. Cystic medial necrosis
b. Syphilis
c. Atheroma
d. Arteriosclerosis

A

ANS: D

Arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis are the most common causes of abdominal aneurysms.

a. Rupture
b. Atrioventricular fistula
c. Retroperitoneal tumor
d. Infection

A

ANS: B
The development of an atrioventricular fistula may demonstrate clinical symptoms, including low back pain, abdominal pain, progressive cardiac decompensation, a pulsatile abdominal mass associated with a bruit, and the development of massive swelling of the lower trunk and lower extremities.

23
Q

The most common tumor to fill the IVC is:

a. Islet cell carcinoma
b. Renal cell carcinoma
c. Venous angioma
d. Nephroma

A

ANS: B

The most common IVC tumor is caused by renal cell carcinoma

b. Superior mesenteric thrombus
c. Retroperitoneal tumor
d. IVC thrombosis

Q

Which one of the following statements is false for a patient with renal vein thrombosis?

a. Direct visualization of thrombi in the renal vein and IVC is possible.
b. Loss of normal renal structure occurs.
c. Renal size increases in the acute phase.
