What is intimal hyperplasia?
This is the next best step for clinically suspected compartment syndrome
What are immediate fasciotomies?
This is the most common location for peripheral embolic lodgement
What is the common femoral bifurcation? (The aortoiliac region is the next most common site, followed closely by the popliteal, superficial femoral, and external iliac arteries. )
This is the syndrome associated with isolated left lower extremity DVT (describe it)
What is May-Thurner syndrome? left common iliac vein compression by the overlying right common iliac artery.
This is the most medial vascular structure seen when obtaining central femoral vascular access using an ultrasound
What is the great saphenous vein?
This is the best test/study to optimize treatment of steal syndrome
What is an arteriogram?
This is the ABI value cutoff for rest pain
What is <0.5?
This is the the area of ischemia typically seen in emboli to the SMA
What is the distal jejunum, ileum, and ascending colon?
These are the indications for IVC filter placement
What is failure of anticoagulation (AC), contraindication to AC, or complication while on AC?
This is the described maneuver for an air embolism
What is the durant maneuver? (Placement in the left lateral decubitus position and the Trendelenburg position)
This is the best temporizing measure to treat an unstable patient with an aortoenteric fistula
What is placement of a endovascular aortic stent graft across the fistula?
These are the compartments decompressed with each fasciotomy incision
What is medial: superficial and deep posterior, and lateral: anterior and lateral?
This is the most common aneurysm associated with an abdominal aortic aneurysm
What is a popliteal aneurysm?
These are the highest risk factors for DVT based on the Caprini score (name 3)
What is stroke (<1month), elective major lower extremity arthroplasty, hip/leg/pelvic fracture (<1 month), acute spinal cord fracture or paralysis (<1 month), multiple trauma (<1 month), major surgery lasting >6 hours?
These are the reasons to perform open repair for a patient who presents with an access site pseudoaneurysm
What are hemodynamic instability, persistent anemia despite multiple transfusions, skin necrosis, nerve compression, acutely expanding?
These are the advantages of and EVAR vs open repair of a AAA
What is lower morbidity and mortality in the post operative period, lower estimated blood loss, shorter postoperative recovery period, and minimal invasiveness. (disadvantages of EVAR include a higher rate of reintervention, a need for long-term surveillance imaging, and patient anatomy that may not be amenable)
This is the most commonly initially affected compartment in compartment syndrome and the most commonly affected nerve in a 4 compartment fasciotomy
What is the anterior compartment and the superficial peroneal nerve?
These are measures that can be taken for treatment of NOMI

What is vein resection +/- operative drainage and wide debridement?
This is the management of a patient with hypotension, lactic acidosis, and melena after AAA repair
What is intravenous fluid resuscitation, broad-spectrum antibiotics, and flexible sigmoidoscopy?
