Velocities are usually higher at the proximal anastomosis site of a _____ ______ ______ because the
diameter of the graft increases distally - reversed in situ graft
Why is there no aliasing on CW doppler - CW uses two elements to send and receive sound
waves, PW only uses one

injection is more effective on pseudos with larger stalks than compressions
compressions must be done in 10 1 minute intervals with Color Doppler eval in between each
compression

_____% diameter or ____% area of a vessel is considered to be hemodynamically significant stenosis -
50, 75
A double peaked wave tracing is indicative of - vasospasm due to Raynaud's syndrome
,Veins that do not normally demonstrate spontaneous flow on pulse wave ultrasound exams -
PTV's, peroneals, GSV
Normal PBI - greater than or equal to 0.75

The ultrasound eval of a TIPS procedure should be performed within _____ hours of the operation to
establish baseline values for serial exams - 24
Negative Predictive Value (NPV) - number of correct neg dx / number of neg dx made
The PI of the normal aorta should be _____ than the PI of the popliteal artery - less

Difference in protocol for hemodialysis graft vs hemodialysis fistula - graft- two sites of
anastomosis,
fistula- one site of anastomosis (protocol is the native artery prior to anastomosis, anastomosis site, vein
distal to anastomosis
When using the GSV as an in situ graft, all _______ must be marked down the leg so that they can be
closed - perforators

Vasodilation will cause a triphasic waveform to become ______ - monopahsic
vasodilation lessens resistance, lessened resistance causes a more monophasic waveform
PW doppler is preferred over CW to determine the location of a stenosis in a vessel because CW has no
depth resolution and is preferred for higher velocities - T
Ascending venography - uses contrast that is injected at the ankle and the course is follow up the
leg to assess for DVT
Descending venography - used primarily to detect and quantify reversed flow from incompetent
venous valves
