1. True or False
Kinetic, not viscous (Poiseuille’s law), energy losses account for most of the pressure drop across a stenosis.
2. The most useful method(s)of diagnosing deep venous thrombosis is/are
a. clinical examination
b. continuous wave Doppler wave form analysis
c. duplex doppler ultrasound
d. magnetic resonance angiography
e. all of the above
3. True or False
Continuous wave doppler ultrasound has primary clinical applicability in obtaining pressure measurements, indices, and arterial wave form analysis.
4. Indications for duplex doppler study include all the following, except
a. possible cerebrovascular disease
b. initial evaluation of lower extremity claudication
c. clinical suspicion of deep venous thrombosis
d. follow-up of lower extremity autogenous vein arterial bypass
e. renal artery exam when renovascular hypertension is suspected
5. A 57 year old diabetic has a 5th toe ulcer without forefoot sepsis, no palpable pulses and an ABI= 1.0. The following are applicable:
a. gangrene is inevitable, followed by major amputation
b. circulation is adequate to achieve wound healing
c. determination of PPG-derived toe pressures better predicts forefoot perfusion
d. transcutaneous pO2 or laser doppler determination of forefoot flow are not indicated
6. True or False
Most patients with acute popliteal or iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis will have diminished augmentation and respiratory variation of flow with poor compressibility of the vein during duplex scanning.
