Vascular Flashcards
Aortic Arch tributaries
brachiocephalic (r), L common Carotid, L subclavian,
ligamentum artiosum is a remnant of
ductus arteriosus
Celiac trunk- which level thoracic
T12
L1= origin of which artery
SMA
L3-origin of which vessel
inferior mesenteric artery
L4: origin of which vessel
common iliac arteries
level of renal vessels
L1
TEE and TTE can both visualize which structure of the heart
left atrium
What is the subclavian steal syndrome? etiologies
atherosclerosis, takayasu, previous aortic surgery
symptoms of subclavian steal syndrome
ipsilateral limb ischemia upon movement (worsening symptoms), asymmetric BP; dizziness, diplopia, syncope- which resolve upon rest
Superior vena cava syndrome is caused by what
mass leison, thrombosis (venous catherer)
edema in bilateral face, bilateral upper extremities, jugular venous distention, headache, increased intracranial pressure- which syndrome
superior vena cava syndrome
if its unilateral edema in the upper extremity- what sort of etiology is it
brachiocephalic venous obstruction or subclavian; subclavian doesn’t present with facial involvement
edema in bilateral lower extremities, improves with repositioning- which etiology; fetal hypoxia
inferior vena cava compression (uterus compressing IVC) 3rd trimester
whats important about the azygous vein
right sided vein, connects SVC and IVC, alternative pathway for blood to return to right atrium
which artery is grated for coronary bypass
internal thoracic (mammary), or great saphenous vein (medial foot)
Which structure is not in the femoral sheath
femoral nerve
To access femoral- is it above or below the inguinal ligament?
must go below inguinal ligament, if its above, increased risk of retroperitoneal hemorrhage
What is the anatomy of femoral access?
Nerve, Artery, Vein, Empty, Lymphatics
NAVEL
Inferior Vena Cava traverses the diaphragm at which level
T8
Which level is the right and left iliac veins
L5
What is the indication for inferior vena filter?
contraindication to anticoagulation, in the setting of DVT
