Answer 4

atherosclerosis

Question 5

Answer 5

atherosclerosis

Question 6

the narrowing of the lumen, obstruction by thrombosis, aneurysm, ulceration, and rupture is a direct result of _______

Answer 6

atherosclerosis

Question 7

results from prolonged hemodynamic forces

Answer 7

Question 9

are ‘yellow and smooth, protrude slightly into the lumen of the artery’, and are composed of lipids and elongated smooth muscle cells

Answer 9

fatty streaks

Question 10

are ‘white to white yellow and protrude in various degrees’ into the arterial lumen

Answer 10

fibrous plaque

Question 11

two groups of vascular surgical procedures

provide blood supply to vessels below the femoral artery

Answer 13

outflow proceduere

Question 14

if an isolated lesions are identified during the arteriogram

Answer 14

percutaneous transluminal angioplasty
