LESSON 12 part 2 Flashcards
a vessel from another part of the body is removed and grafted to the affected artery
femoropopliteal bypass graft
a catheter containing a balloon is inserted into affected artery
percutaneous transluminal angioplasty
a catheter containing a grinding tool is inserted into the affected artery and used to GRIND PLAQUE from the artery
atherectomy
surgical removal of a blood clot from the affected artery
embolectomy
surgical removal of ‘atherosclerotic tissue’ from the affected artery
thromboendarterectomy
a laser tipped catheter is inserted into the affected artery to remove the blockage
laser angioplasty
a metal mesh tube is inserted into the affected artery to remove the blockage
stent
surgical removal of the affected limb to contains gangrene
amputation
administer this medication to ‘enhance the blood flow to the lower extremities’
antiplatelets
give example of antiplatelets drugs:
clopidogrel
aspirin
ticlopidine
another term for buerger’s disease
thromboangiitis obliterans
a nonatherosclerotic, segmental, recurrent inflammatory disorder of the small and medium size arteries
thromboangiitis obliterans / buerger’s disease
thromboangiitis obliterans occurs mostly in ______
young men (less than 45 years of age)
drugs used to treat bueger’s disease
calcium channel blockers
an episodic vasospastic disorder of small cutaneous arteries, most often involving fingers and toes
raynaud’s phenomenon
two types of raynaud’s phenomenon
primary or idiopathic raynauds (raynaud’s disease)
secondary raynauds (raynaud’s syndrome)
Raynauds phenomenon primarily occur at the age of:
15 to 40 years old
identify the raynauds:
occurs in the absence of an underlying disease
raynauds disease
primary/idiopathic
identify the raynauds: occurs in association with an underlying disease
secondary / raynauds syndrome
exaggerated reflow due to vasodilation
Hyperemia
The red color is produced when oxygenated blood returns to the digits after vasospasm
Rubor
medication recommended for raynauds phenomenon
CCB
a localized sac or dilation formed at a weak point in the wallbof artery
aneurysm
this is the common site for dissecting aneurysm
thoracic area
it is often misnamed “dissecting aneurysm”
aortic dissection
it results from the creation of false lumen between the intima and medium of arterial wall
Dissection
A tear develops in the inner layer of the aorta
thoracic aorta aneurysm
Loss of voice
Aphonia
the most common cause of abdominal aortic aneurysm
atherosclerosis
A weakening in the wall of a portion of the aorta results in a a balloon-like bulge as blood flows through the aorta
abdominal aortic aneurysm
A weakening in the wall of a portion of the aorta results in a a balloon-like bulge as blood flows through the aorta
abdominal aortic aneurysm
what sound over the ABDOMINAL aorta or iliac or femoral arteries can be heard
swishing sound
removing the section containing the aneurysm and replacing it with graft
resection
this has been shown to improve rest pain, promote healing of ischemic ulcer, and DECREASE THE NEED OF AMPUTATION
IV iloprost
in this type aneurysm, there is a prescription of antihyertensive drugs
AAA
