Unable to be performed on patients with any metal objects in their bodies.
What is an MRI/MRA?
300
Appears only on the right and is the first branch arising from the aortic arch.
What is the innominate/brachiocephalic artery?
300
Blood flows from the left ventricle, to the arteries, to the arterioles, to the capillaries, to the veins, to the venules, and into the right atrium.
What is the systemic circulatory system?
300
May rupture or embolize and is usually discovered on physical exam by palpation.

Contrast material used during arteriography.
What is iodine?
400
Has 5 branches and supplies blood to the chest wall, arms, shoulders, and back.
What is subclavian artery?
400
Created by the pumping action of the heart which distends the arteries during pulsations.
What is potential energy?
400
A rare type of arteritis that causes inflammation of the aorta and its branches and can eventually be the cause of heart failure or strokes.
What is Takayasu's Syndrome?
400
Digit waveforms show this when no disease is present.
What is a dicrotic notch?
400
Minimally invasive procedures, such as stenting, that are done in blood vessels and are used to treat arterial disease.
What is endovascular therapy?
500
Gives rise to the metatarsal arteries and supplies blood to the toes.
What is the plantar arch?

500
Segment(s) affected if the CFA is triphasic, POP is biphasic, and the DPA/PTA are monophasic.
What are fempop and infrapopliteal segments?
500
1. Catheter is inserted via a puncture in artery and guided to the stenotic area
2. Rotational device cuts through the plaque
3. Device pulverizes plaque which is caught in a storage compartment and removed.
