QUESTION
What is digital subtraction arteriography? Answer: a method in which radiographic images of blood vessels filled with contrast material are digitized and then subtracted from images obtained before administration of the material. The method increases the contrast between the vessels and the background.
QUESTION

QUESTION
What condition shows up as a string of beats Answer: FMD
QUESTION
What is FMD? Answer: Fibromuscular dysplasia-abnormal growth of cells in the walls of arteries that can cause the vessels to narrow or bulge. The carotid arteries,are commonly affected. Arteries within the brain and kidneys can also be affected. A characteristic "string of beads" pattern caused by the alternating narrowing and enlarging of the artery can block or reduce blood flow to the brain, causing a stroke.
QUESTION
What is the kissing stent, angioplasty, stent, technique, useful for? Answer: bifurcations
Answer: Renal artery ratio

A vascular lab calls a stenosis 60-70% by diameter based on its duplex assessment, but angiography the next day calls it 90% diameter. Possible reasons for this discrepancy might include: Answer: A. The stenosis is long and smooth, changing its Doppler character compared to that of a shorter lesion. B. Only one plane of visualization was used for angiography. C. Poor angle- correction with the duplex, creating artificially low velocity estimates. D. Acoustic shadowing prevented Doppler assessment of the maximum narrowing E.
