Risk of pseudoanuerysm after endovascular access? Sx’s

Treatment for pseudoanerysm after endovascular access?

Try ultrasound compression for 10-30 minutes
Direct thrombin injection
However if large (>5cm) and overlying skin compromise then patient needs immediate surgical repair.

Treatment for claudication?

Risk factors for cardiac mortality much higher than limb loss, thus start:

High dose statin
ASA vs plavix vs Cilostrazol
Smoking sessation
Exercise training

Revascularize only for sever disease or medical therapy has failed

How well did you know this?

Perfectly

MOA of cilotrazol?

PDE3 inhibitor which decreases PKA which inhibits platelet aggregation
- also decreasing PKA leads to vasodilation

what is the Mattox maneuver and what is it used for? AKA?

“left medial visceral rotation” Medialize the left lateral organs.
Spleen, left colon, tail of pancreas, fundus of stomach and left kidney are all moved midline.

-needed for supramesocolic active hemorrhage. Get supraceliac exposure . You can divide left crus if needed to get into chest cavity.

Main steps of Mattox maneuver?

incise white line of told. Sharply incise spleno-diaphragmatic attachments and then bluntly dissect organs away from posterior abdominal muscles

How do middle ureter transections get repaired?

Transureteroureterostomy

What can you do if you have a large bladder defect in trauma, repair?

Vesicopsoas hitch. Attach bladder after dividing umbilical arteries and sometimes superior vesicular artery to central tendon of psoas muscle.

How many zones of retroperitoneal hemorrhage?

What is zone 1 of retroperitoneal hemorrhage?

Divided into supramesocolic or inframesocolic | - Central and all major vasculature aortor and IVC and its major proximal branches

What is zone 2 of retroperitoneal hemorrhage?

More lateral but central

What is zone 3 of retroperitoneal hemorrhage?

Pelvis

3 phases of cardiac tamponade?

1- CO maintained by autoregulation, tachycardia/SBP. Diastolic filling compromised 2. CO compromised 3. Severe CO compromise with paricardial pressure higher than ventricular filling pressure

Landsmarks for subclavian central line access?

Sternal notch medial third of clavicle Deltopectoral groove

hard signs for OR with neck injury?

1. Hemodynamically unstable 2. Tracheal injury (subcue air) 3. Vascular injury ( pulsatile hematoma, expanding hematoma, bruit or thrill)

Zone 1 of anterior neck?

Means anterior to anterior boarder of SCM | - clavicle to cricoid

Zone 2 of anterior neck?

Cricoid to mandible

Zone 3 of anterior neck?

Mandible to base of skull

Rule out neck vessel injury?

CTA 4 vessel angiography | Doppler with color

Posterior triangle of neck?

Post SCM Trap Clavicle

How is nitrous oxide made?

converts L-arginine to L-citrulline by nitrous oxide synthase

How long for dual antiplatelet for DES?

6 months sometimes 12 before holding for 5-7 days before a surgery

Most likely to get perfused from Type B aortic dissection?

Left Renal | - important consideration prior to fixing

Woo is at highest risk for PE?

Surgical patient= 25% | - Malignancy is only about 11%

Order of preferred AV fistula?

1. Auto Radiocephalic 2. Auto brachio-cephalic 3. Transposed brachial-basilic 4. Upper arm brachial-cephalic PTFE graft

Why should a brachial basilic AVF be transposed?

Proximity to medial cutaneous nerve | - supplies proximal to elbow and medial side

Carotid body tumors derived from?

Ectoderm- Neural crest cells

Treatment for asymptomatic fibromusclar dysplasia of carotid?

Antiplatelet therapy

Symptomatic fibromuscular dysplasia of carotid tx?

Angioplasty

1. Nerve compression 2. Venous clot 3. Arterial clot

Difference between suppurative thrombophlebitis and superficial venous thrombophlebitis?

Suppurative has systemic symptoms of fevers, chills, pus express from IV site, tenderness to palpation of cord like structure. Superficial only has redness but no pain, no need for iv abx or blood cultures. Just remove IV

Most common bacteria of thrombophlebitis? How about central line infections?

Staph A, gram neg and poly microbes Central lines if staph epi

Triad for hemobilia?

Abdominal pain Jaundice GI bleed

Causes of thoracic outlet syndrome?

Hypertrophy, Cervical ribs, Aneurysms, and lung tumors

Adsons test?

30 degrees abducted, fully extended elbow. feel radial pulse - then have patient extend neck and turn it to symptomatic side then take and deep breath and hold it - positive test is diminished or absent radial pulse

Acute limb ischemia from thrombus who presents in under 2 weeks is best treated with?

Catheter directed thrombolysis | - if greater than 2 weeks then thromboembolectomy is needed or bypass

Post thrombolic syndrome symptoms?

``` Edema Venous stasis Incompetent valves Varicose veins pain ulcers pigmentation calf muscle disfunction ```

Flow velocities concern for renal artery stenosis?

180-200cc/s | - or ratio of this to aorta of >3.5

What is a type 4 endoleak?

Fenestration in graft--> from needle holes. Resolves in 24 hrs. Type V is from unknown but continues to leak

Classifications of acute limb ischemia?

I, IIa, IIb and III

What is Rutherford acute limb ischemia class I?

``` Viable non immediately threatened limb No sensory loss No motor loss Audible Artery Audibile vein ```

What is Rutherford acute limb ischemia class IIa?

Salvageable if promptly treated. Minimal sensory loss- toes No muscle weakness Non audible artery Audible veins

What is Rutherford acute limb ischemia class IIb?

``` Salvageable limb Sensory loss more than toes Mild to moderate muscle weakness No Audible Artery Audibile vein ```

What is Rutherford acute limb ischemia class III?

``` Major tissue loss with permanent nerve damage Profound anesthesia Paralysis No Audible Artery No Audibile vein ```

How many classes of PVD Rutherford? What are they

``` 6-(0-5) 0- Asymptomatic 1. Claudication (M-M-S) 2. Rest pain 3. Ischemic ulcer 4. Severe ischemic ulcer with gangrene ```
