Look at indications for abdominal doppler
on first slide show
what may a physician find in AAA?
patients may present with a pulsatile mass around the umbilical level
what is necessary to fully evaluate the AAA?
duplex and colour doppler
how can you rule out dissection
using 2D as well as duplex colour doppler
what measurment considered AAA?
over 3 cm
what is the caliper placement when measuring AAA?

what does hepatic artery aneurysm cause?
abdominal pain
bleeding into the GI tract
what is useful to determine turbuent arterial waveforms with aneurysms?
doppler US
what do people with hepatic artery aneurysm have done?
selective angiography of the CA and SMA
what are grafts?
Repair of aneurysmal vessels such as the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries involves grafts to restore flow to the pelvis and lower limbs
what is a good surveillance protocol for grafts?
doppler US
what is a complication for grafts?

25%
percentage of non-occlusive mesenteric ishemia
20%
what is the percentage of mesenteric venous thrombosis
5%
when looking for mesenteric ischemia where do you look?
doppler of
- proximal SMA
- pre and post prandial
what is the SMA preprandial waveform?
high resistant with low diastolic flow
what is the post prandial waveform in the SMA?
lower resisitant with continuous and higher diastolic flow
what does the SMA show in the event of ischemia?
atherosclerosis-waveforms do not change if the stenosis is significant
who is chronic mesenteric ishemia usually seen in?
- younger women
- smokers
- 2/3 with other vascular disease
what is shown clinically with chronic mesenteric ischemia?
bruit
what are the classic symtoms of chronic mesenteric ischemia?
- post prandial pain
- weight loss
- food fear
- GI ulceration
