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

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
