Class 10: LEA Scanning Flashcards
proximal to an aneurysm in the LE, what type of waveform can you expect to see?
triphasic (normal)
what type of waveform can you expect to see post aneurysm or distal to ischemia in the LE?
low resistance – biphasic or monophasic
when does a pseudoaneurysm form?
when a puncture of an artery fails to close, such as catheter insertion
what type of flow can be seen in a pseudoaneurysm?
double direction blood flow
– to-fro/yin-yang sign
what can be seen with a pseudoaneurysm that isn’t there with an aneurysm?
communication channel
what plane is the most diagnostic for arterial disease?
SAG
a ratio of 2:1 for pre-stenotic PSV & stenotic PSV means a ___% DR or a velocity increase of ___%
50%; 100%
a ratio of 4:1 for pre-stenotic PSV & stenotic PSV means a __% DR
75%
what are two types of treatments for severe arterial stenosis?
- bypass grafts
- percutaneous intervention
4 types of percutaneous intervention for severe stenosis?
- angioplasty
- stent placement
- atherectomy
- local thrombolysis
two types of graft material?
- synthetic
- autologous veins
5 types for LEA bypass grafts?
- aortobifemoral
- femorofemoral (fem-fem)
- axillofemoral
- femoropopliteal (fem-pop)
- femorotibial or popliteal-tibial
two ways to image LEA grafts?
- prox native inflow artery –> distal native outflow artery
- prox anastomosis –> mid graft –> distal anastomosis
what should velocities in LEA grafts be?
> 40 cm/sec
for in situ vein grafts, what is the resistance & velocity at the proximal area of the graft?
decreased resistance
increased velocity
for reversed saphenous vein grafts, what is the resistance & velocity at the proximal area of the graft?
increased resistance
decreased velocity
velocity for LEA with 50%+ stenosis?
> or = 150 cm/sec
