Chapter 9 QUIZ

The diameter of the IVC should never exceed:

2.5cm

An AAA is present when the diameter of the abdominal aorta exceedds:

3cm

The second branch of the aorta is the:

SMA

An outpatient with a histroy of back pain and hypertension presents to the ultrasound department for an abdominal aortic sonogram. sonogrpahically, you visualize a 6 cm infrarenal aortic aneurysm with an echogenic linear strucutre noted gently swaying in he aortic lumen. What is this most likely diagnosis

aortic dissection

Occlusion of the hepatic veins describes:

budd chiarai syndrome

The first main branch of the aorta is the

celiac artery

What branch and is triubtaries of the abdominal aorta appears as a seagull sign

celiac artery

What part of the aorta is siutted more anteriorly

distal

The most common shape of an AAA is:

fusiform

The veins seen attaching to the VC just below the diaphragm are the:

hepatic veins

What are the 3 branches of the celiac

hepatic, left gastric, and splenic arteries

What flow pattern would the postprandial SMA yield in small bowel ischemia?

high resistance

A patient presents to the sonography department with a history of marfan syndrome. The sonographuc evaluation reveals a linear echo within the aortic lumen athat extends from the celiac axis to the iliac arteries. The color doppler reveals flow throughtout the aorta on both sides of the linear echo. Th patient has had no surgeries, and there is no AAA. Wat does the linear echo most likely represent

intimal flap

What vessel canbe oftern noted coursing between the SMA and the abdominal aorta in the transverse scan plane

left renal artery

The left gonadal vein drains into the left renal vein

left renal vein

The aorta originates at the:

left ventricle

The hepatic artery should demonstrate _____- resistance flow

low resistance

What should post prandial flow pattern be within the SMA

low resistnace

A disorder of the connective tissue characterized by tall stature and aortic and mitral valve insufficiency is:

marfan syndrome

an aneurysm associated with infection is termed

mycotic

The IVC terminates at the :

right atrium

In the sagittal plane, you recognize a circular, anechoic vasuclar structure postreior to the IVC, What is this structure

right renal artery

Enalrgement of the IVC, with subsequent enlargment of the hepativ veins is seen in cases of:

right sided heart failure

A patient presents with unexplained abdominal pain for a vascular assessment of the SMA. Sonogrpahicaly, you note that the patients SMA yields a perssistent high resistive flow pattern. This is indicitive of :

small bowel ischemia

Which vascular structure is commonly confused for the main pancreatic duct

splenic artery

The main porta vein is created by the union of the :

splenic vein superior mesentericc vein

The outter wall of the vessel is called

tunica adventia

The inner wall layer of a vessel closest to the passing blood is the

tunica intima
