Q

What are some sonographic features of a pseudoaneurysm? 3

Lower extremity ischemia
27
What is Raynaud's syndrome?
Intermittent ischemia in the fingers or toes in response to cold exposure or emotional stimuli
28
What does colour duplex help with in terms of Raynaud's syndrome?
Helps rule out obstructive disease or emboli in the larger vessels as the cause of the symptoms
29
What is a more appropriate in assessing for Raynaud's syndrome?
Indirect testing
30
What is primary Raynaud's syndrome (idiopathic)?
Intermittent digital ischemia caused by arterial spasm
31
Who is most affected by primary Raynaud's syndrome (idiopathic)?
Common in women and present bilaterally
32
What are some S/S with Primary Raynaud's syndrome (idiopathic)?
Pain accompanied by pallor, followed by cyanosis (Blue), and hyperemia (red) as they warm up
33
What is the prognosis for Primary Raynaud's Syndrome (idiopathic)?
Does not progress and has good prognosis
34
What is secondary Raynaud's Disease? 6
Underlying disease is present, such as: 1. Scleroderma (most common) 2. Mixed connective tissue disease 3. Systemic lupus erythematosus 4. Rheumatoid arthritis 5. Drug induced vasospasm 6. Malignancy
35
In terms of Secondary Raynaud's disease it is rare to have what?
Digital occlusion secondary to embolization from a proximal source (proximal aneurysms or stenotic lesions)
36
Secondary Raynaud's Disease develops what?
Occlusive lesions of the upper extremity digital arteries and can cause tissue necrosis
37
What kind of condition is Secondary Raynaud's disease and what is constantly present?
Chronic condition with ischemia constantly present
38
What is a duplex Raynaud's syndrome?
Digital artery occlusion
39
What does Duplex Raynaud's syndrome look like on spectral and colour doppler?
1. Diminished digital waveforms on spectral doppler 2. Poor or no colour filling of digital vessels
40
What does this demonstrate?
Raynaud's syndrome
41
What is compression/ entrapment syndromes caused by?
Swelling within osteofascial compartments of the upper and lower extremities
42
What happens with compression/ entrapment syndromes?
Pressures increases and compromises blood flow to the tissue
43
What should we do if we suspect compression/ entrapment syndromes?
Assess the arteries that lie within or next to the site with doppler to determine if blood flow is present or diminished
44
What is a treatment option for compression/ entrapment syndromes?
Fasciotomy
45
What is popliteal entrapment?
Compression of the popliteal artery by the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle or adjacent tendons as a result of a congenital deformity
46
How does popliteal entrapment happen?
Repeated extrinsic compression of the popliteal artery produces trauma to the vessel wall may result in an aneurysm, arterial thrombosis, and thromboembolism
47
What are some S/S for popliteal entrapment?
Claudication symptoms in young patients with no risk factors for atherosclerosis
48

Passive plantarflexion of the foot
49
Popliteal entrapment is indicated when there is what?
A decrease arterial diameter when the patient points their foot downward resulting in a visualized stenosis or loss of pulse
50
Duplex testing to diagnosis popliteal entrapment syndrome is controversial as some believe what?
The decreased arterial diameter is a normal response when pointing the foot downward
51
What is adventitial cystic disease (ACD)?
Focal stenosis or occlusion of the popliteal artery and seeing the arterial lumen compressed by the cyst
52
What is the thoracic outlet?
Superior opening of the thoracic cavity that is bordered by the clavicle and first rib

55
In terms of thoracic outlet syndrome, Duplex scanning of the subclavian and axillary arteries or veins may be used to do what?
1. Detect compression while the arm is held in various positions 2. Assess for vessel damage (stenosis, Post-stenotic aneurysmal degeneration, subclavian artery occlusion). All can be a source of distal embolization which can lead to occlusion

What does arterial thoracic outlet syndrome look like on 2D? 5
1. Subclavian artery aneurysm 2. Stenosis 3. Ulceration 4. Thrombus 5. Occlusion

Reduced lumen or no colour filling with occlusion
59
What does this image demonstrate?
Thoracic outlet syndrome
60
What are some causes of AV fistulas?
1. Congenital 2. Traumatic
61
In terms of AV fistula, communication between an artery and an adjacent vein features what? 4
1. Colour bruit 2. High- diastolic flow in an artery proximal to AVF 3. High velocity turbulent flow (arterialized venous flow) in the vein near the fistula connection 4. Slowly loses its pulsatility more distally
62
What is the most common AV fistula?
CFA/CFV post catheterization
63
AV Fistula may also be constructed for what?
Hemodialysis in the upper extremity
64
Label the images
65
What is blue toe syndrome?
Toe ischemia due to micro-emboli released from proximal atherosclerotic lesions, lodging in small arteries and arterioles
66
What is the treatment for blue toe syndrome?
Removal of emboli
67
What can cause extrinsic compression?
Tumors, Hematomas, etc
68
What can extrinsic compression result in?
Stenosis or occlusion by applying pressure on the arterial walls and comprising blood flow
69
What does Extrinsic compression use colour doppler for?
Colour doppler use to evaluate masses to determine their vascularity

What is power doppler used for in terms of extrinsic compression?
Power doppler is used to detect low flow states in suspect tumor masses
