Q

Treatment for pseudoanerysm after endovascular access?

A

Try ultrasound compression for 10-30 minutes
Direct thrombin injection
However if large (>5cm) and overlying skin compromise then patient needs immediate surgical repair.

Q

Treatment for claudication?

A

Risk factors for cardiac mortality much higher than limb loss, thus start:

  1. High dose statin
  2. ASA vs plavix vs Cilostrazol
  3. Smoking sessation
  4. Exercise training

Revascularize only for sever disease or medical therapy has failed

Q

MOA of cilotrazol?

A

PDE3 inhibitor which decreases PKA which inhibits platelet aggregation
- also decreasing PKA leads to vasodilation

Q

what is the Mattox maneuver and what is it used for? AKA?

A

“left medial visceral rotation” Medialize the left lateral organs.
Spleen, left colon, tail of pancreas, fundus of stomach and left kidney are all moved midline.

-needed for supramesocolic active hemorrhage. Get supraceliac exposure . You can divide left crus if needed to get into chest cavity.
