100
The wall of an artery consists of theese three layers
Tunica Adventitia
Tunica Media
Tunica Intima
100
This term means an obstruction
Occlusion
100
Identify this PV supply
Bifurcated aortic graft
100
The surgical procedure that involves the removal of plaque buildup from inside blood vessels
Endartartectomy
100
This procedure involves injecting a contrast dye into peripheral vessels and taking X-ray images to visualize blockages or narrowing.
Peripheral angiography
200
These three arteries emerge from the aortic arch
Innominate artery ( brachiocephalic artery)
Left Common carotid artery
Left Subclavian artery
200
These are severe pain in the muscles of the lower leg caused by poor circulation; usuall caused by atherosclerosis
Claudication
200
What is this used for? Why is this an important accessory for PV procedures?
Hypo/Hyperthermia unit
This is a pt cooling/warming unit.
In PV procedures this is used to warm the patient.
Pt often has extremities draped out and this causes the pt to lose body heat.
200
used during vascular surgery to temporarily redirect blood flow away from the surgical area.
Shunt
200
What non-invasive imaging technique uses sound waves to create images of blood flow in peripheral vessels?
Doppler ultrasound
300
Blood for the head and neck originate from these two common arteries
Common corotid arteries
300
Name three symptoms of an embolism of the lower extremity
Foot or calf pain
Pulsating mass in the groin or behind the knee
Irregular red-blue patches of skin on the foot
300
What is this piece of equipment?
Hi Pressure contrast injector
300
What type of graft involves using a patient's own blood vessel, typically from the leg, to bypass a blocked artery
autologous vein graft
400
These veins drain the brain and the meninges, as well as the deep regions of the face and neck
Internal jugular
400
Where in the body, in relation to vessels do major emboli lodge
Bifurcations
Sites of anatomical narrowing
Sites of pathological narrowing like a atherosclerotic superficial femoral artery.
400
Vessel loops
400
What are some risk factors for varicose veins
Heredity
Female
Hormones
Constricted clothing
Prolonged standing
Obesity
Pregnancy
Sedenary lifestyle
Smoking
Hypertension
500
Veins of the lower extremities are divided into these two groups
Superficial and deep
500
A condition where there is too much fat in the blood
What diagnostic is performed to measure this?
hyperlipidemia, or high cholesterol
500
Olive tip heparin needle
500
What two surgical instruments are used to create the arteriotomy in the common carotid artery during an endartarectomy?
DeBakey Forceps
#15 or #11 blade
Potts scissors
