ELCA
This must be flushed from the area of interest prior to performing laser atherectomy.
Contrast
How many sizes of Angiosculpt balloons are there (diameter)
Four (2.0, 2.5, 3.0, & 3.5)
IVUS can create vessel measurements in two ways. What are they?
Area and diameter.
Verrata + pressure wires come in what 2 lengths?
185cm and 300 cm
What feature of SyncVision assists in visualizing the markers on a post-dilation balloon following a stent deployment?
Device detection.
The number of different sizes of ELCA coronary catheters.
4 (They come in a 0.9, 1.4, 1.7, and 2.0)
6mm, 10mm, & 15mm
When using IVUS, there is a natural artifact that occurs on the screen during the initial live image. This artifact can be removed by accomplishing what step?
Ringdown
When using a Verrata wire, one must first flush the wire, lay the wire flat on the table, and plug it into the PIM box. What does the screen say is being accomplished as soon as the wire is plugged in?
Zeroing
SyncVision has the ability to enhance imaging using 2 technologies. What are they?
Image stabilization and vessel analysis
When performing coronary laser atherectomy, this must cross the lesion before the laser should be used
A coronary interventional wire.
Angiosculpt is the only specialty balloon in the scoring/cutting category that is indicated for treating ISR in what type of lesion?
Complex type C lesions.
When using IVUS, what lesion type typically casts a shadow?
Calcium
When performing an iFR, what type of hyperemic agent is suggested?
None, iFR is performed without any hyperemic agent as it is a resting index.
True or False, SyncVision must be turned on and logged in before any imaging is accomplished in order to use any of its features.
True
When using the 0.9 x 80 ELCA, the laser can be in use for 10 seconds before this will happen.
A 5 second pause.
The shape of the scoring element edges on an Angiosculpt balloon.
Rectangular
IVUS is the only type of vascular imaging that penetrates deep enough to EFFECTIVELY visualize beyond what layer of the vessel?
iFR measurements can be performed in the left main. However, to do so, one may have to normalize where?
In the Aorta.
With iFR co-registration, one can virtually stent a vessel before actually opening what?
Any interventional equipment
This type of wire cannot be used for coronary laser atherectomy.
Hydrophillic
Angiosculpt is backed with what type of guarantee?
A no-cross guarantee.
When using IVUS co-registration, one can now determine what type of measurement that was not previously available with regular IVUS evaluation?
Length measurements.
When performing an iFR co-registration, the pullback is done under fluoro. After this step, what must be accomplished to complete the iFR co-registration?
A contrast injection under Cine.
Dr. Kim's DJ name was what?
The Korea Kid!
