nous Doppler
CCI Vascular Sonography Mock Exam A20
1. what is demonstrated by the images from a lower extremity ve
exam?: AV fistula
2. what is the best sonographic technique to use to evaluate the status of a
pseudoaneurysm after 10 minutes of compression therapy is applied?: color
doppler
3. which of the following statements is true regarding the signs and symptoms
of lower extremity arterial disease?: significant ischemic disease in the leg will
lead to pallor upon elevation and rubor with dependency
4. elevated venous pressures result in:: peripheral edema
5. the type of plaque that carries the greatest risk of embolization is .-
: soft
6. if you detect flow toward the transducer in the right ACA while using the
temporal window,: there is probably an occlusion of the right ICA
7. May Thurner syndrome can lead to stent placement in the:: left iliac vein
8. on foot used as the dye injection site for ascending venography,
while the is used as the dye injection site for lower extremity arteriog-
raphy.: dorsal vein; common femoral artery
9. a patient presents with bilateral distention of the internal jugular veins and
,arm swelling. the lower extremities are normal on physical examination. these
findings are most suggestive of:: SVC Syndrome
10. in order to validate test results, 450 patients underwent Angiography and
a Renal Artery Duplex exam to evaluate patients for renal artery stenosis. 300
arteries were correctly diagnosed as having a normal flow or negative for renal
artery stenosis. 100 arteries were correctly diagnosed as having a stenosis
present or positive for renal artery stenosis. 35 arteries were incorrectly diag-
nosed with stenosis by ultrasound and 15 arteries were incorrectly diagnosed
as negative for stenosis by ultrasound. what is the accuracy of the renal artery
duplex exam for this group of patients?: 400/450 = 89%
11. which of the following originated at the ankle, courses along the medial
border of the fibula, and joins the posterior tibial veins immediately distal to
the popliteal fossa?: peroneal veins
12. a patient provides for a venous doppler evaluation of the left lower ex-
tremity. thrombus is identified in the left leg. what should you include in the
preliminary report? choose all correct answers from the list:
I: approximate age of thrombus
II: extent of thrombus propagation
, III: location of thrombus
IIII: level of compression applied to affected area: A, B, C
13. the achilles tendon is a landmark for which deep calf vein?: posterior tibial
vein
14. which of the following is true regarding the initial post-op examination of a
transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement?: it helps to establish
baseline velocities for upcoming follow up exams
15. which artery supplies the brainstem with arterial blood?: basilar artery
16. which of the following describes the proper technique for evaluating the
ACA thought the temporal window?: anterior angulation with 65mm depth
17. which of the following is a contraindication for a lower extremity segmental
pressure exam?: recent saphenous vein arterial bypass grafting
18. which of the following measurements should be obtained to evaluate
the success of a percutaneous angioplasty performed on the left superficial
femoral artery? choose all the correct answers from the list.
I: volume flow rate
II: peak systolic velocity and velocity ratio
III: acceleration time and pulsatility index
IIII: femoral artery diameters proximal to the treated area, the treated area and
