EXAM QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE
ANSWERS { GRADED A+}
___ is the most common endoleak and usually does not
require intervention, while ___ is most dangerous and requires
surgical intervention.
A. type 4, type 1
B. type 2, type 1
C. type 1, type 2
D. type 3, type 4 - ✔✔B. type 2, type 1
,Which of the following correctly describes myointimal hyperplasia
in an arterial bypass graft?
A. not identified on ultrasound until greater than three years post-
op
B. easily differentiated from atheroma formation
C. Most commonly occurs in an in situ vein graft at sites of valve
removal
D. caused by the healing process at anastomosis sites - ✔✔D.
caused by the healing process at the anastomosis sites
Myointimal hyperplasia is a common cause of stenosis at the
anastomosis site of a graft. Native tissues proliferate during the
healing process after graph placement. It can be identified any
time from one month to two years post-op. Difficult to differentiate
from soft atheroma formation.
What is the primary reason why dialysis grass or colony Place at
the antecubital fossa or wrist, and not the shoulder?
,A. increased risk of grass thrombosis with the wide range of
motion for the normal shoulder
B. to make it less visible to help with the patient privacy related to
the dialysis treatment
C. there is an increased risk of graft rupture with a wide range of
motion for the normal shoulder
D. closer the AV fistula to the heart, the greater the risk of
developing heart failure - ✔✔D. closer the AV fistula to the heart,
the greater the risk of developing heart failure
Official is created in the arm at the furthest point possible by the
vessel still meet the minimum size requirements for the
procedure. The closer the AVF to the heart, the greater the risk of
developing heart failure from reprocessing of the arterial blood
that is empty directly into the venous system.
A fem-fem graft is used to treat:
A. unilateral iliac stenosis
, B. unilateral femoral stenosis
C. bilateral popliteal stenosis
D. bilateral iliac stenosis - ✔✔A. unilateral iliac stenosis
A fem-fem graft can be used to correct unilateral iliac stenosis.
Blood is passed from the patent femoral artery through the graft to
the contralateral femoral artery at a point distal to the stenosis.
The most common cause of hemodialysis graft failure is ___.
A. acute rejection
B. arterial stenosis
C. anastomosis rupture
D. thrombus formation - ✔✔D. thrombus formation
Which of the following is a part of the standard protocol for
evaluating a patient with an aortic endograft?
A. Location of the proximal attachment site and compared to prior
exam to rule out graft migration
