Q

What arteries produce a monophasic flow pulsed Doppler spectral waveform and why?

A
Arteries with low ressitance arterial flow will product monophase wave form.
The arteries are:
- Internal carotid
- Vertebral
- Renal
- Celiac
- Splenic
- Hepatic

Q

איך מחושב IR - Resistive Index?
למה הוא משמש?
מה טווח הערכים שלו?

A

(PSV-EDV)/PSV
משמש להערכת התנגדות פריפרית לא תקינה בכליות ובמוח.
ערכים נורמאלים הם מתחת ל-0.7.
ערכים גבוהים מ-0.85 קשורים בהתנגדות (Resistance) וסקולרית גבוהה וירידה בפרפוזיה הרקמתית של איבר המטרה.

Q

איך מחשבים PI - pulsatility index?
למה הוא משמש?
מה הערכים שלו?

A

מחלקים את מהירות ה-Peak-to-peak בעקומת הזרימה במהירות הממוצאת.
בעורקים תקינים הערך הוא מעל 4 (פמורלי מעל 6, פופליטאלי מעל 8).
ערל מתחת ל-4 משקף הצרות או חסימה פרוקסימלית.

Q

מה זה “dumping factor”?

A

חלוקת PI דיסטאלי ב-PI פרוקסימלי.

ערך מתחת ל-0.9 הוא אבחנתי למחלה חסימתית.

מה זה גל tardus-parvus?

A

גל בעקומת דולפר עם זמן האצה סיסטולית של יותר מ-200ms (האצה איטית) ושיפוע מתעגל בקצהו. מרמז על PSV מאורך.

Q

מה משפיע יותר על הזרימה, אורך ההצרות או קוטר ההצרות?

A

A

Filled with a gelatinous mucoid material.

Microscopic: simple cuboid cell lining in the adventitial layer, with absence of any atherosclerotic disease.

17
Q

What is the advantage of vein cuffs?

A

significantly improves patency for below the knee prostetic bypass.
2 years patency 52% with vs. 29% without vein cuff.
Also improves limb salvage (84% vs. 62%)
Still inferior to those of vein bypasses

18
Q

How is the renal resistive index measured?

A

(PSV-EDV) / PSV of interlobular vessels of kidney

19
Q

What is normal velocity in the intracranial vessels?

A

60 cm/sec

20
Q

What are low resistance circulations in the body that would have persistence of flow throughout diastole?

A

brain, kidneys, spleen, liver

21
Q

What kind of waveform would a ICA dissection have?

A

to and fro

22
Q

Absolute Indications for fasciotomy

A

Tense compartment+

A

Ectopia lentis, pectus excavatum, height, evidence of dissection

26
Q

What is the mutation in Marfan syndrome?

A

Fibrillin 1

30
Q

between anterior scalene and subclavius muscle

31
Q

A

Between anterior and middle scalene

Subclsvian artery and brachial plexus are in it

32
Q

  1. Less than 2.5 cm
  2. More than 2.5 cm
  3. Connected to the first rib with fibrous band

33
Q

Adson test

A
Sitting with hands on the knees
Turn head to concerned side
Deep inhale

High false positive rate
34
Q

What is Profunda-popliteal collateral index and what is it used for?

A

PPCI is calculated as the difference between the above-knee and below-knee blood pressure divided by the above-knee pressure.
Low index indicates good collateral development (little pressure drop across the knee)

An index < 0.25 predicts a good result from profundaplasty without infrainguinal bypass.
PPCI of greater than 0.50 predicts no improvement with profundaplasty alone.
