<p>Rupture</p>

18
Q

<p>Target BP for type B aortic dissection</p>

A

<p><120 SBP</p>

19
Q

<p>Surveillance for AAA</p>

A

<p>3-4.4cm 2yrly</p>

<p>4.5-5.4 3mthly</p>

<p></p>

20
Q

<p>Which has a higher patency rate post grafting, above or below knee anastomosis</p>

A

<p>Above knee</p>

21
Q

<p>False aneurysm</p>

A

<p>AKA pseudoaneurysm</p>

<p>Collection of blood between muscularis and adventitia layers of the artery</p>

22
Q

<p>Dissecting aneurysm</p>

A

<p>Tear in the intima of the aorta, allowing blood to collect in the intima-media space, propagating the tear along the wall of the vessels</p>

23
Q

<p>Screening for AAA</p>

A

<p>One off USS men above 65</p>

24
Q

<p>Phlegmasia alba dolens</p>

A

<p>Post thrombotic sx</p>

<p>Painful white leg post DVT (superficial venous system unable to cope with the volume)</p>

25
Q

<p>Phlegmasia crulea dolens</p>

A

<p>Untreated phlegma alba dolens leads to phlegmasia cerulea dolens</p>

<p>Painful blue leg</p>

<p>(complete lack of venous drainage)</p>

<p>Affects arterial supply and will lead to gangrene if untreated</p>

26
Q

<p>Endoleak types post EVAR</p>

A

<p>T1: inadequate apposition of stent graft, incomplete seal</p>

<p>T2: most common, aneurysm fills with small vessel branches</p>

<p>T3: small defect in the graft</p>

<p>T4: porous graft</p>

<p>T5: unclear causea</p>

27
Q

<p>Buergers test process</p>

A

<p>Supine leg raise to 45 degrees for 1-2 mins</p>

<p>(if pallor at <20 indicates severe ischaemia)</p>

<p>Then sit up and time for legs to go pink</p>

28
Q

<p>Buergers test results</p>

A

<p>Normally 10-15s for legs to return to normal</p>

<p>If an elevation of <20 causes pallor indicates severe ischaemia</p>

<p>In peripheral arterial disease, feet become blue then red</p>

29
Q

<p>What bacteria associated with AAA</p>

A

<p>salmonella</p>

30
Q

<p>Mycotic aneurysm</p>

A

<p>Dilation of vessel wall as a result of damage by infections such as staph aureus, salmonella, and strep.</p>

31
Q

<p>AAA repair complications</p>

A

<p>Ischaemic colitis</p>

<p>Incisional hernia</p>

<p>Paraplegia</p>

<p>Trash foot</p>

32
Q

<p>How is paraplegia caused by AAA repair</p>

A

<p>Damage to the artery of adamkiewicz (anterior radiculomedullary artery) supplying blood from T8 to conus medullaris</p>

33
Q

<p>Trash foot</p>

A

<p>acute lower limb ischaemia following aortic surgery</p>

<p>Cholesterol emboli dislodging from atherosclerotic plaque</p>

34
Q
