Doppler evaluation of a stenosis in a native artery finds a
pre-stenotic velocity of 100 cm/sec and a velocity of 275
cm/sec at the narrowing. What is the estimated degree of
stenosis? - Answer-50- 75%
A vessel has stenosis at a particular location. Where will
the likelihood of turbulent flow be the greatest? - Answer-
After the stenosis
The innominate vein is formed by the confluence of the -
Answer-internal jugular and subclavian vein.
A parabolic flow profile is - Answer-described as uniform
flow streamlines with the faster flow in the middle
A patient presents with a chronically occluded internal
carotid artery on the left. The right internal carotid artery
,2|Page
demonstrates an increase in peak systolic velocities of
132 cm/s. Despite excellent imaging no narrowing or
plaque is appreciated. What is the most likely explanation
of the findings for this patient? - Answer-compensatory
flow
A 42-year-old female presents 3 days after thermal
ablation of the right great saphenous vein. The duplex
exam findings would most likely reveal: - Answer-occluded
great saphenous vein
A pulse with a very short spatial pulse length contains a
__________ range of frequencies. - Answer-broad
The etiology of RENOVASCULAR hypertension is a result
of decreased perfusion to the kidney secondary to a renal
artery stenosis. This results in the release of ______ which
converts _________ to ________ that causes
__________. - Answer-renin, angiotensinogen,
angiotension, vasoconstriction (hypertension)
Which of the following is TRUE about analog recordings? -
Answer-Less sensitive than spectral analysis
,3|Page
The toe pressure should be what % of the ankle pressure:
- Answer-60% -80%
A carotid duplex scan on an 82 y/o female demonstrates
disease in the right internal carotid artery with a peak
systolic velocity of 494 /cm/sec, and end diastolic velocity
of 187, and post stenotic turbulence. What symptom would
be most likely seem in this patient? - Answer-Left
hemiparesis
The calf muscle pump serves primarily to empty the
__________________________. - Answer-deep system
Surface characteristics of carotid artery plaque may be
described as: - Answer-smooth or irregular
Using NASCET measurement methodology, calculate the
percent stenosis if the distal ICA diameter were 7.2mm
and the minimum residual lumen were 1.8 mm. - Answer-
(7.2 - 1.8) / 7.2 = 0.75 x100 = 75 %
When using Volume (Air) Plethysmography to evaluate a
patient, the Venous Filling Index (VFI) should be ______
and the Venous Ejection Fraction (EF) should be _______.
- Answer-low, high
, 4|Page
Spectral broadening is a measure of: - Answer-flow
organization.
During a venous duplex examination for venous
insufficiency while listening to the popliteal vein, you
squeeze the calf with your hand, simultaneously recording
an augmentation of flow, and after release, 1.5 seconds of
retrograde flow is appreciated. What BEST describes your
findings? - Answer-reflux in the popliteal vein
A 53-year-old female presents 6 days after cardiac
catheterization. She complains of "a big lump that seems
to be pulsing" in her right groin. The order says for you to
perform a venous duplex exam with an indication of deep
venous thrombosis. Before you begin the exam what do
you anticipate finding? - Answer-a pseudoaneurysm
The rule in statistics for deciding if a test is T+, T-, F+, or
F- is: - Answer-Look at "Our Test" first and determine
Positive or Negative, THEN look at the Gold Standard to
determine true or false.
