abdominal vasculature

which of the following vessels show a different flow pattern after eating

SMA

the second main branch of the abdominal aorta is the

SMA

what branch and its tributaries of the abdominal aorta appears as a seagull in the transverse place

celiac artery

what abnormality would the failure of an EVAR to isolate an aneurysm from circulation most likely results in

endoleak

the most common shaper of an AAA is

fusiform

the veins seen attaching to the IVC just below the diaphragm are the

hepatic veins

which of the following would have a pulsatile triphasic blood flow pattern

hepatic veins

what flow pattern would the postprandial SMA would yield in small bowel ischemia

high resistance

what vessel may attach to the splenic vein before reaching the portal confluence

inferior mesenteric vein

the left gonadal vein drains directly into the

left renal vein

what vessel travels directly anterior to the left renal artery

left renal vein

The aorta originates at the:

left ventricle

what should the postprandial flow pattern be within the SMA

low resistance

the hepatic artery should demonstrate

low resistance to flow

which of the following is not a section of the ivc postrenal pancreatic prerenal hepatic

pancreatic

all of the following are branches of the celiac axis except right gastric artery hepatic artery splenic artery left gastric artery

right gastric artery

in the sagittal plane, you recognize a circular anechoic vascular stucture posterior to the ivc. which of the following would this structure be most likely

right renal artery

which vessel would be the shortest in length right renal artery right renal vein left renal vein left renal artery

right renal vein

Enlargement of the IVC, with subsequent enlargement of the hepatic veins, is seen in cases of

right sided heart failure

the ivc terminates at the

rigth atrium

a patient presents with unexplained abdominal pain for a vascular assessment of the SMA. sonographically you note that the patients SMA yield a persistent high resistive flow pattern. this is indicative of

small bowel ischemia

which vascular structure may be confused for the main pancreatic duct

splenic artery

the main portal vein is created by the union of the

splenic vein and superior mesentaric vein

which of the following statements about the IVC is not true the diameter of the ivc is variable respiration can affect the size of the ivc the ivc is located to the left of the abdominal aorta the ivc is considered retroperitonal in the location

the ivc is located to the left of the abdominal aorta

what vessel can be often noted coursing between the SMA and the abdominal aorta in the transverse place

the left renal vein

which of the following is not true about the abdominal aorta the abdominal aorta bifurcates into the common iliac arteries the proximal aorta is situated more anterior than the distal aorta the aorta has a thicker tunica media than the ivc the third major branches of the abdominal aorta are the renal arteries

the proximal aorta is situated more anterior than the distal aorta

an AAA is present when the diameter of the abdominal aorta exceeds

3cm

an outpatient with a hx of back pain and hypertension presents to the ultrasound dept for an abdominal aortic sonogram. sonographically you visualize a 6cm infrarenal aortic aneurysm with an echogenic linear structure noted gently swaying in the aortic lumen. what is the most likely diagnosis

aortic dissection

the diameter of the ivc should never exceed

2.5cm

occlusion of the hepatic veins describes

Budd-Chiari syndrome

the first main visceral branch of the abdominal aorta is the

celiac trunk

which of the following would most likely yield a high resistance flow pattern celiac artery common iliac artery splenic artery right renal artery

common iliac artery

clinical findings of an AAA include all of the following except lower extremity pain back pain abdominal bruit elevated hematocrit

elevated hematocrit

which of the following vessels would most likely yield a high resisitence flow pattern

fasting SMA

a patient presents to the sonography dept with a hx of marfan syndrome. the somographic evaluation reveals a linear echo within the aortic lumen that extends from the celiac axis to the iliac arteries. color doppler reveals flow throughout the aorta on both sides of the linear echo. the patient has had no surgeries and there is no AAA. what does the linear echo most likely represent

intimal flap

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

marfan syndrome

which of the following statement about the abdominal aorta is not true most aneurysms located within the abdominal aorta are false aneurysms the abdominal aorta is located just left of the midline the most common location of an AAA is infrarenal the abdominal aorta is considered to be retroperitoneal in location

most aneurysms located within the abdominal aorta are false aneurysms

an aneurysm associated with infection is termed

mycotic

the outer wall layer of a vessel is the

tunica adventitia

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

tunica intima
