Extremity Arterial Flashcards
no duplicated brachial artery
high brachial bifurcation into radial and ulnar arteries
distribution in diabetes
tibioperoneal trunk
distibution in non diabetics
distal SFA or bifurcation
arterial ulceration dry gangrene
foot/toes
irregular
shallow
minimal/no bleeding poor granulation
venous ulceration wet gangrene
medial malleolus
deep irregular shape
round edges
mild/moderate pain
granulating base
irregular ulcers
venous
shallow ulcers

characteristics of ischemic rest pain
at night with foot elevated relieved by dangling foot or walking
waveform prior to stenosis
peaked -
monophasic -
high resistance
waveform distal to stenosis
parvus et tardus
monophasic
low resistance
hyperemic flow
all above baseline
ABI predicts severity in absence of calcified vessels
not reliable with calcified vessels
significant ABI change = 0.15
increasing severity of disease
ABI > 0.5
single level disease
ABI
multilevel disease
claudication
0.5 - 0.9
rest pain
0.25 - 0.5
normal ABI
0.9 - 1.3 (other chart 0.96 - 1.3)
mild disease ABI
0.80-0.94 (other chart 0.85-0.95)
ABI moderate disease
0.50 - 0.79 (other chart 0.51- 0.84)
ABI severe disease
0.30 - 0.49 (other chart 0.25 - 0.50)
ABI critical
falsely high pressures
due to medial calcification in diabetes and CRF
if greater than 15 mm difference btw PT and DP
proximal disease
