A TRAM flap would be used for which type of surgery and arterialized muscle segment
what artery is mapped?
coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)
When a piece of vein from the leg or chest is implanted
on the heart to replace a blocked coronary artery and to
improve the flow of blood to the heart.
Upper extremity arterial mapping is used for .
We assess a high/low brachial bifurcation and presence dialysis access for an AV fistula
of disease.
> 2 mm
Radial artery mapping is used for dialysis access fistulas
and coronary bypass. We assess for the presence of dis-
ease and report the size > mm.
Preoperative venous mapping is used for bypass graft & > 2-3 mm
dialysis access. Targeted upper extremity veins are the
cephalic/basilic, and lower extremity; the GSV/SSV. Incre-
mental diameters and length obtained (> mm)

Acute DVT
Time frame: 0-14 days from onset of symptoms like
swelling, pain, and redness appear rapidly. Ultrasound
Characteristics: anechoic/hypoechoic, loose, and irregu-
lar. NON-COMPRESSIBLE. Absent/reduced venous flow.
Enlarged vein.
What type of DVT?
Time frame: 2 weeks to 3 months Subacute DVT
Hyperechoic, adhered to wall. Non-compressible or par-
tial compressibility due to the start of recanalization.
Ruced or absent flow, collaterals may form.
Chronic DVT
What type of DVT?
Time frame: >3 months
Echogenic thrombus, presence of collaterals, partially
compressible d/t recanalization, phlebitis
