Exam3, BV and lymph Flashcards
What are Tx options for an aorto-iliac occlusion
smoking cessation ASA and or clopidogrel Cilostazol phentoxifylline ramipril statin stent axillo-femoral bypass intermittent calf compression
how do cilostazol and phentoxifylline blcok platelet function
inhibit phosphodiesterase I that converts AMP to cAMP
how is ASA an anti-platelet drug
blocks production PGS
DM patient has cramping in both calves with walking
left popliteal and pedal pulses are diminised, right side absent
Ankle/brachial index is 0.5 on L and 0.1 on R
no hair on right toes and dependent rubor on R
most likely occlusion is where
superficial femoral
how come in DM the Ankle brachial index is not very helpful
when vessels are calcified
not practical use of ABI
psuedoHTN
what is oslers sign
when patient has pseudoHTN from calcified vessels
what is most potent predictor of stent thrombosis
calcification
what is best Tx option for femoral and politeal stenosis
fem-pop bypass
patient has b/l leg and claf pain upon walking, relief at rest
HTN and takes ACEI
simian gait, S4 murmur high SBP low DBP
pain worse when extends back better with foraward bending
most likely test to be positive?
lumabr MRI for spinal stenosis
what is simian gait
wobbeling, not caludication
what is the S4 murmur
atrial contraction into noncompliant ventricle
DM with burning dorsal foot pain that is relieved by getting up or dangling.
why is this not diabetic neuropathy? most likely Dx?
because relief with dangling, most likley tibial or pedal artery occlusion
how is Dx made for tibial or pedal artery occlusion
MRA
what is Tx for ribial or pedal artery occlusion
vein bypass to distal tibial or pedal aa
sudden onset pain in R LE leg is pale, weak and numb pedal pulses are absent and foot is cold heart rhythm is irregular what most likely is happening>
emoblism causine acute aterial occlusion
What are the Ps of acute arterial occlusion
pain, pallor, paralysis, paresthesias, pulselessness, poikilothermia (irregular)
patient is DM, ahs dizziness, diplopia, dysphagia, dysarthria, dysmetria and ataxis, what is going on
vertebro-basilar TIA
What is lateral medullary syndrome
occlusion of vertebral or PICA, Ds plus numbness in contralateral arm or leg and ipsi face with Horner’s syndrome
What are facial signs of lateral medullary syndrome
nystagmus on R lateral gaze
loss of pain and temp over right face
ptosis right eye and constriction of right pupil
What is a carotid territory TIA
aphasias, unilateral weakness or numbness and amaurosis fugax
45 HLD DM female with abdominal pain after meals
weight loss over 6 mo from fear of eating
periumbilicals pain
bloating
most likley has
mesenteric occlusion
what is Tx for mesenteric occlusion
angioplasty and stent
2nd is aorto-celiac or superior mesenteric bypass
amaurosis fugax means what area of body is involved
carotid
If patient has red and white clots what will you suspect
portal vein thrombosis
what are the common causes of a white clot
smoking, HTN, HLD, DM and cholesterol emboli
