Aneurysms
What is the classic triad for AAA?
Abdominal pain, hypotension, and pulsatile mass
A patient presents with right calf pain with dorsiflexion of foot. What is the progression of diagnostic tests performed?
First D-dimer then Compression Ultrasound
sound on auscultation associated with aortic stenosis
crescendo-decrescendo
#1 cause of PAD
What 2 areas does arteriovenous malformation occur most often in?
brain and spinal cord
Genetic syndromes like Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, and Turner Syndrome are risks factors for
Thoracic Aneurysm
Painful, warm, erythematous, tender, palpable cord-like structure usually found in the lower extremities
Superficial venous thromboembolism
valve most affected by rheumatic heart disease
mitral
System that allows us to estimate severity of PAD
Ankle Brachial Index (ABI)
how is thoracic aneurysm usually detected?
incidentally on CT or US
Initial diagnotic for AAA with highest accuracy
Ultrasound
60yo nurse that works full-time for 40 years presents with hyper-pigmentation on her lower extremities. After wearing compression socks, you recommend treatment with ___________.
Ablation
definitive treatment for tricuspid regurgitation
valve replacement
loss of peripheral pulse, pallor, and skin mottling
Arterial Embolism/Thrombosis
Describe the difference between an emboli and a thrombi?
Emboli is where a clot travels and a thrombi forms and stays in the same spot
rescreening after 10 years
Alterations in blood flow, Vascular endothelial injury, and alteration in the constituents of the blood are criteria for ________
Virchow’s Triad
prosthetic valve that doesn't require lifelong anticoagulation
Biprosthetic
ABI=0.4 What is the diagnosis and treatment?
Severe PAD. Treatment is referral, anti platelet meds, Cilostazol, and possible revascularization
What is Homan’s sign and what are you testing for?
pain with dorsiflexion of the foot is positive. Looking for DVT
open surgical repair
35 yo male presents with painful swollen calf. Positive D-dimer & US shows non compressive vein. What is the treatment and how long?
DOAC anticoagulation indefinitely (because not provoked)
Disease/Disorder that causes tricuspid stenosis
Endocarditis
MRA confirm Arterial Embolism. Next step for treatment?
Revascularization WITHIN 3 hours. Either endovascular or surgical.
tricuspid stenosis can be caused by what kind of high risk behavior?
IV drug use
