Q

PSA usually occur at the ______ but may be as high as the ______

20
Q

What’s the most common treatment for PSA?

A

US guided compression or thrombin injection

21
Q

If a PSA is found it is treated right away. True or false

A

true– because of risk of expansion

22
Q

What is an AVF usually caused by?

A

iatrogenic during cardiac catheterization

23
Q

What can be seen and heard with a AVF?

A

thrill (it’s palpable)

color bruit artifact (mosaic?)

24
Q

Downstream from the AVF, Doppler demonstrates what flow?

A

high velocity, pulsatile venous

25
What's the most common cause of penetrating arterial trauma?
non-iatrogenic injuries-- GSW and stabbings
26
What is Takayasu's arteritis also known as?
aortic arch syndrome or pulseless disease
27
What is Takayasu's arteritis?
form of large vessel granulomatous vasculitis | massive intimal fibrosis and vascular narrowing is a sign
28
Who does Takayasu's typically affect?
young or middle aged women of Asian descent | females 9x more likely and symptoms appear b/w 15-30
29
What vessels does Takayasu's usually affect?
mainly the aorta and it's major branches-- INN, lt. CCA, lt. SCA and pulmonary arteries
30
Symptoms and signs of TA?
pulseless upper extremities malaise, fever, night sweats, weight loss, fatigue and syncope SSS may be evident
31
Oscar, you're gay
boom roasted
32
What can TA lead to? What's the treatment?
stenosis, thrombosis and aneurysm | steroids, surgery or stenting
33
What is giant cell arteritis known as?
temporal arteritis or Horton disease
34
What is giant cell arteritis?
inflammatory disease of blood vessels most commonly large and medium branches of the head (particularly ECA) can lead to occlusion and ischemia (worst is of OA)
35
Is giant cell arteritis more common in men or women? What geographic region?
descent of northern Europe and women
36
GCA is typically seen in those under 55. True or false
false
37
What does giant cell arteritis present as?
bruits, fever, headache, visual disturbances, tenderness of scalp and OA can be involved
38
What sign does GCA show on US?
halo sign
39
What is Buerger's disease also known as?
Thromboangitis
40
Who do we typically see Buerger's disease in?
Young males who smoke cagrettes
41
What happens in Buerger's disease?
blood vessels in fingers and toes become blocked because of the swelling. Fingers and toes become black
42
Radiation induced arterial injury
radiation-induced stenoses of the carotid artery are associated with fibrosis of the arterial layers and tissue planes that renders their surgical treatment difficult
43
What types of cancers increase the risk of developing a vascular disease
breast, lymphoma, head and neck cancer patients
44
A course of radiotherapy can initiate a chronic vascular process that eventually leads to clinical events
many years after treatment due to inflammation
45
What's the treatment for "hostile neck" patients
stenting
