1. gianturco coil
2. polyvinyl alcohol foam
3. gelfoam
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1, 2, and 3 - ANSWER-A
A Gianturco coil and polyvinyl alcohol foam are long term
occluding materials.
Gelfoam is a temporary
occluder.
What procedure begins by passing a wire guide through a
narrowed area of artery?
A. vasodilator infusion
B. intravascular thrombolysis
C. percutaneous transluminal angioplasty
D. embolectomy - ANSWER-C
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty begins by passing a
wire guide through a narrowed area of an artery. A catheter is
then passed over the wire guide through the stenosis to begin
the dilation process.
,Which of the following agents may be used both before and
after an angioplasty procedure? A. gelfoam
B. heparin
C. vasopressin
D. epinephrine - ANSWER-B

,What is the correct angioplasty balloon diameter compared
to the measured
diameter of the
vessel?
A. 1.5 - 2.5 mm
smaller
B. 0.5 - 1.5 mm
smaller
C. the same size as the area adjacent to the
stenosis
D. 0.5 - 1.5 mm larger -

A. vena cava to left atrium to left ventricle to pulmonary artery
B. vena cava to right atrium to right ventricle to pulmomary

, C. vena cava to right atrium to right ventricle to pulmonary vein
D. vena cava to right atrium to left atrium to pulmonary vein -
ANSWER-B
Which of the following are objectives of percutaneous
transluminal angioplasty?
1. vessel patency
2. avoidance of distal emboli
3. vasoconstriction
A. 1 and 2 only
B. 1 and 3 only
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1, 2, and 3 - ANSWER-A
Vessel patency and avoidance of distal emboli are objectives of
percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. In addition, creation of
a smooth inner luminal surface, improvement in the blood flow
pattern, and minimal disturbance of the wall structure are also
goals. Vasoconstriction is not an objective of angioplasty.

arterial flow?
A. aorta to left aorta to common iliac
to femoral

common iliac
C. aorta to common iliac to
