CVIU Vascular Week 4
1. A superficial vein forming at the the level of the medial malleolus, coursing medially along the calf and thigh,
and terminating into the common femoral vein at the saphenofemoral junction: great saphenous vein
2. A vein that connects the superficial venous system to the deep venous system: perforating vein
3. A vein that was previously thrombosed: recanalization
4. A superficial vein that courses along the posterior aspect of the calf, termi- nating at the political fossa into the
popliteal vein: small saphenous vein
5. Dilated tortuous superficial veins: varicosities
6. What is the primary treatment for acute DVT?: anticoagulation
7. What are the most common new oral anticoagulants (NOACs)?: xarelto and eliquis
8. Do NACOs require monitoring or dietary restrictions?: no
9. Symptoms of SVT:: palpable cord and pain
10.Treatment for SVT:: warm compress, compression hose, elevation, ambulation, ibuprofen, anti-inflammatory drugs
11.Symptoms for acute DVT:: unilateral acute pain, edema, redness, tenderness, or warmth
12.Treatment for acute DVT:: anticoagulants, lytic agents, and thrombectomy
13. What is the main purpose for anticoagulants?: keep the clot from propagating
14.Examples of anticoagulants (4): heparin, warfarin, xaelto, eliquis
15.What is the purpose for lytic agents?: eat and dissolve the clot immediately
16.Types of lytic agents:: tPA, streptokinase, urokinase
17.T/F lytic agents are used for EMERGENT situations like PCD, where limb or loss of life is possible.: true
18.Types of delivery methods for lytic agents :: systemic thrombolysis, catheter directed thrombolysis, percutaneous
mechanical thrombectomy
19.Systemic Thrombolysis:: lytic agent through IV to entire body
20.Catheter Directed Thrombolysis (CDT):: lytic agent through intravenous catheter directly on clot
21.What method improves clot resolution and decreased risk of hemorrhage compared to standard systemic
therapy ?: catheter directed thrombolysis

, CVIU Vascular Week 4
22.Percutaneous Mechanical Thrombectomy (PMT):: lytic agent through intra- venous catheter directly on clot
and suctioned after IVC filter is placed
23.Thrombectomy:: clot is manually removed
24.What is the treatment for post thrombotic changes without symptoms
?: anticoagulants (warfarin or coumadin)
25.What is the treatment for post thrombotic syndrome with reflux in deep veins?: compression hose
