22
Q

DDx for calf DVT?

baker’s cysts
superficial venous thronbosis
muscle tears

23
Q

Read up on scan technique

A

on calf veins

24
Q

Do superficial leg veins have an accompanying artery within the border that separates the fascia from the muscle?

25
What's the primary job of the superficial leg veins?
not to return blood to the heart, but to regulate body temperature (vasodilation/constriction)
26
Where does the GSV arise from?
medial aspect of the dorsal venous arch of the foot
27
What are the 2 divisions of the GSV?
posterior- passes up from medial malleolus and communicates w/ posterior veins anterior- joins the posterior div just below the knee
28
The normal long saph vein sits within the fascial sheath, also called:
Egyptian eye
29
Duplication of the LSV (long) can be seen in what percentage of people?
50%
30
Where does the GSV enter the femoral vein?
fossa ovalis
31
What provides collateral channels for an obstructed segment of the SFJ?
at least 6 other tributaries from groin, lower abdominal wall and perineum. (they are significant in recurrence of varicose veins)
32
If thrombus is noted in the GSV, the distance from the edge of the thrombus to the SFJ should be measured since some clinicians will anti-coagulate patients with thrombus extending to within:
0.5-1cm of the SFJ
33
Do superficial venous thrombosis pose a threat for embolization?
yes if they're close to deep system
34
Thrombus within _____ of the deep system are sometimes treated as DVT.
2cm
35
Superficial venous thrombosis are less likely to
cause major clinical issues or dislodge
36
Clots in the superficial show as:
enlarged vein with considerable discomfort
37
Where do clots in the superficial venous system typically occur?
varicose veins
38
Signs of a SVT:
``` redness severe pain/tenderness redness inflammation swelling pyrexia (fever) palpable cord ```
39
DDx of SVT:
lymphangitis cellulitis *associated with occult DVT approx 20% of time
40
Where does the lesser saph vein arise from?
lateral aspect of the dorsal venous arch of the foot--passes below and behind the lateral malleolus to run up the posterolateral aspect of the calf to the popliteal fossa
41
Where does the SSV join the POPV?
crease level, but this is variable | can also dump in femV above the knee
42
What is the Giacomini vein?
when the SSV travels passes the POPV and joins into the profunda femoris vein in the lower thigh
43
Perforator veins:
superficial to deep keep blood from pooling at the skin level valve malfunctions can result in stasis
44
Where's the standard sites for perforator veins?
level of the junction of the middle and lower thirds of the thigh and in calf
45
Basilic and cephalic veins dump into:
subclavian vein @ the axillary vein junction
46
UESVT is associated with what syndrome/diiseases:
Trosseaus syndrome and Buerger's disease
47
What is the most common cause of upper extremity SVT?
intravenous infusions that inflict a chemical injury on the vein wall which leads to inflammation and thrombosis
48
What are signs/symptoms of UESVT?
tender palpable cord in neck/axilla cyanotic appearance in hand and fingers aching pain in the forearm exacerbated by exercise
