ventricle output?
22) What is the flow direction of the main Hepatopedal
portal vein in a patient with a history of
portal hypertension if they had a
successful
TIPSS?
23) While performing a color Doppler on the Frequency
external carotid artery, you want to
improve the range resolution which system
setting would you adjust?
24) Normal high thigh in the four cuff method At least 30 greater than the
highest brachial pressure
25) What would a normal PVR waveform Sharp, upstroke and peak
show? and notable dicrotic notch
26) What is the proximal anastomosis of a fem Right CFA
to fem bypass graft in a patient with left
iliac artery occlusion?
27) What best describes a patient Ischemia like symptoms
experiencing thoracic outlet syndrome? when arm is placed in a
position such as when arm is
raised
