Module 6 Flashcards
The radial artery terminates at the _____
Deep palmar arch
Which of the following is not a branch off the aorta arch
Celiac axis
Which artery in the lower extremity functions as an important collateral pathway in the presence of a superficial femoral or popliteal artery occlusion
Genicular artery
While performing segmental pressures on a lower extremity, you note a pressure gradient between two cuffs of 15 mmHg. What does this finding indicate
Normal results
Arterial pressure measurements rely on the ability of the arterial wall to compress and occlude the vessel. Incompressibility of the artery, which results in the inability to obtain pressure, is most common in which of the following patients
Diabetic patients
Reactive hyperemia is used as a substitute for treadmill stress testing in cases in which the patient
Cannot ambulate
The most severe sequelae of arterial disease is
Tissue loss
Acute arterial occlusion is marked by the following symptoms except
Erythema
At what anatomic level does the axillary artery become the brachial artery
Head of the humerus
What layer of the arterial wall is the thickest, and has connective tissue and smooth muscle to give it strength
Media
The deep palmar arch is located
Over the proximal aspect of the Palm
Pulse volume recording is a form of which of the following methods/techniques
Pneumoplethysmography
An important symptom to indicate abnormal vasospasm of digital arteries when exposed to cold is
Prolonged pallor in digits
What risk factor for arterial disease cannot be controlled
Age
Which of the following is the most common site for atherosclerosis development
Arterial bifurcations
What is a bruit
A noise
The primary normal finding on a cold immersion PPG exam for Raynaud’s syndrome is
Return to baseline amplitude in 5 mins or less
A patient with symptoms of claudication would most likely present with
Pain in calf when walking two blocks and then subsides with rest o
Using the following info, which vessel is diseased: Highest brachial 150 mmHg High thigh 172 mmHg Above knee 165 mmHg Below knee 122 mmHg Ankle 109 mmHg
Femoral popliteal
Which is the most common treatment for ischemic rest pain in the foot
Bypass graft
A longitudinal tear of an arterial wall is known as
A dissection
A loose fitting cuff will affect the results of a segmental pressure test by
Giving abnormally high pressures
The advantage of a 4-cuff method from a 3-cuff method for segmental pressure is
It can differentiate aorto-iliac disease from femoral arterial disease
A greater saphenous vein that is left in its native position when used as a bypass graft is known as
An insitu graft
