DIALYSIS ACCESS
This dialysis access can be used sooner because it does not need to mature.
This condition results from compression of the left iliac vein by the right iliac artery.
May-Thurner syndrome
Flow traveling away from the liver in the portal vein is described as this
Hepatofugal
This ICA disease occurs mainly in young women and shows a “string-of-beads” pattern.
FMD
Renal stenosis above this percentage typically triggers renin-angiotensin activation
70–80%
This physical exam finding feels like a vibration over an AVF or AVG.
Thrill
This severe form of DVT causes a swollen, blue, painful limb.
Phlegmasia cerulea dolens
This collateral recanalizes in portal hypertension & appears within what ligament
ligamentum teres
These external carotid branches become intracranial collaterals during ICA stenosis
Supraorbital & ophthalmic arteries via ECA branche
This condition shows respiratory-dependent celiac artery velocity changes.
Median arcuate ligament syndrome
This complication results in reduced hand perfusion after access creation.
Steal Syndrome
This upper-extremity thrombosis often affects athletes who perform repetitive motions.
Paget–Schroetter syndrome
This shunt connects the portal and hepatic veins to reduce portal pressure
TIPS
This ratio compares MCA mean velocity to the ipsilateral extracranial ICA.
Lindegaard ratio
Fistulas with a wide arterial anastomosis often result in this poor outcome
hand ischemia
This term refers to the segment just beyond the arterial anastomosis in an AVF.
Juxta-anastomotic segment
This venous condition shows non-compressible veins with hypoechoic clot on ultrasound
Acute venous thrombosis
No portal flow with increased hepatic artery velocity suggests this condition.
Portal vein thrombosis
This carotid segment includes the parasellar, genu, and supraclinoid regions
Carotid siphon
ABI values below this threshold indicate severe arterial insufficiency.
<0.50
This access type often develops venous anastomotic stenosis due to synthetic material.
Brachial–axillary AVG
This syndrome involves reversed flow in the vertebral artery due to proximal stenosis
Subclavian steal syndrome
This type of aneurysm has a circumferential, symmetric dilation of the vessel
Fusiform aneurysm
If an innominate artery occlusion is present, the common carotid artery on the same side will be supplied with blood flow from what artery
subclavian (flow will be retrograde)
A delayed recovery after cold immersion testing suggests this condition
Raynaud’s disease
