25
Q

AAA repair for 5.7 juxtarenal aneurysm –> right foot is cold with nopalpable pulses.. Next step

A

Right femoral cutdown and embolectomy

26
Q

Preop Eval for AAAelevtice repair - 4 METS

A

1 MET - 1 flight of stairs

27
Q

Access Related HandIschemia (ARHI)

A

Banding, RUDI (revision using distal inflow),PAI (proximalizaition of arterial inflow, DRIL (distal revs interval ligation), DRAL (distal radial artery ligation)
*DRIL #1 choice

28
Q

DM with oozing left toe. Tx?

A

Second toe amp (source control) and then revascularization

29
Q

gangrene foot with palp popliteal pulse.. sx?

A

AKA - palpable pulse immediately above the level of amputation predicts successful healing nearly 100% time

30
Q

Reasons AVF doesn’t mature? 1st step?

A

Steal, aneurysm, infection, inflow or outflow

1st: US duplex

31
Q

60F DM s/p AVF. 3 hours after OR, severe pain. Nerve conduction shows axonal damage

A

Ischemic monomeric neuropathy

NOT steal, as that is associate w loss of pulse

32
Q

ideal vein for AVF

A

3mm diameter, no signs of stenosis/thrombus,

33
Q

Ideal exposure of the femoral artery during vasc procedure is…

A

is the transverse incision

34
Q

Calculation ABI

A

higher pedal pulse/higher brachial pulse

<0.9 inc in CV mortality

35
Q

Sclerotherapy position?

A

trendelenberg to prevent refilling

36
Q

Acute onset of paralysis of both lower extremities and cyanosis of the umbilicus down

A

occlusion artery of Adamkiewicz

37
Q

CEA complete, what order do you unclamp the vessels?

A

External first, then common carotid, then the internal carotid. the internal carotis is reomoved last to avoid cerebral embolization and stroke after carotid

38

A
Lateral anteriorrhaphy
Lateral suture patch angioplasty
Resection and end/end anastomosis
Resection and saphenous interposition graft
ligation
