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
