what is the great saphenous vein
hydrostatic pressure at the angle standing up
what is 100 mmHg
gold standard imaging modality for DVT
what is ultrasound
color associated with phlegmasia cerula dolens
what is blue
place where the gastrocs normally terminate
What is the anterior tibial vein and the TP Trunk
what is innominate, SVC, IVC, Iliav veins, and Soleal sinus
most critical complication of DVT
what is pulmonary embolism
Extensive illiofemoral DVT that causes marked swelling lower extremity with pain, pitting edema and blanching
what is phlegmasia alba dolens
how often you compress down the leg during a DVT study
every 2 to 3 cm
another name for the deep femoral vein
What is the profunda femoris vein
this vein is usually not imaged due to having no communication with the soleal sinus making thrombosis rare
what is the ATVs
group of symptoms that present after a DVT
post thrombotic syndrome
common incidental non-vascular finding located behind the knee
what is a bakers cyst

what is acute, post-thrombotic changes, and indeterminate
the four concomitant veins of the lower extremities
what is ATVs, PTVs, Peroneals, and gastrocnemius
the land mark for the PTV
what is the achillies tendon
venous stasis (most common cause of DVT), vessel wall injury, hypercoagulable state
complete venous outflow obstruction due to extensive DVT
what is phlegmasia cerula dolens
continuous flow is suggestive of this
what is more proximal obstruction
CFV becomes the EIV at this landmark
what is the Inguinal Ligament
normal doppler charcteristics of lower extremity veins (5 answers)
what is spontaneous flow, phasic flow, augmentation with distal compression, cessation of flow with proximal compression, unidirectional flow towards the heart
what is the difference in arterial clots and venous clots
arterial clots are made up of mostly platelets with some fibrin while venous clots are mostly fibrin with some platelets
if phlegmasia cerula dolens is suspected, this vessel must be Dopplered and this are we looking for
what is the posterior tibial artery, and what is diastolic drag
pulsatile flow unilaterally is associated with this
what is an AV fistula
