🗑
The removal of plaque is called a(n) ___________   endarterectomy  
🗑

🗑
______ ______ are used to bolster anastomosis sites when tissue is friable   suture pledgets  
🗑
The lumens of veins are (smaller/larger) than the lumens of arteries   larger  
🗑
Gold standard for dx and evaluation of vascular disease   angiography  
🗑
What should you do with vessel loops before handing them to the surgeon?   dip them in saline  
🗑
Vein of choice for distal bypasses of lower extremity   saphenous vein  
🗑
In order for the saphenous vein to be effective as a bypass conduit, the ______ within the vein must be removed or "stripped away" in order to prevent the valves from dictating venous flow direction   valves  
🗑
arteries grow progressively smaller until they become ______ which in turn become ______   arterioles; capillaries  
🗑
_______ are microscopic vessels designed to exchange nutrients and wastes between the blood and tissue fluid   capillaries  
🗑
After nutrients/waste exchange, capillaries unite to form _____, the smallest of the veins   venules  
🗑
Venues unite to form veins, which eventually become the ______ and ______.   inferior and superior vena cava  
🗑
Primary challenge of performing an angioscopy   clearing the visual field of blood  
🗑
An angioscope should be smaller in diameter than the vessel lumen to avoid ______.   vasospasm  
🗑
Purpose of a central venous catheter "central line/CVC"   facilitate long-term IV administration of chemo, antibiotic therapy, fluids and pain meds  
🗑

🗑
Tunica adventitia   outer layer of artery consisting of connective tissue; contains vasa vasorum that nourish the cells of the arterial wall  
🗑
Tunica media   middle/thickest layer of artery consisting of elastic fibers and smooth muscles fibers; causes vasoconstriction and vasodilation  
🗑
Tunica intima   inner smooth layer of artery composed of endothelium; platelets flow without being damaged and clotting is prevented  
🗑

🗑
Stents are made out of...   stainless steel mesh, titanium, or polypropylene  
🗑
Selection of a balloon in an angioplasty that's too small may result in   underdilation and early stenosis  
🗑
Selection of a balloon in an angioplasty that's too large may result in   dissection of the vessel  
🗑

🗑
Second branch of aortic arch   carotid  
🗑
Anticoagulant given just prior to cross-clamping a major artery   heparin  
🗑
Antidote for heparin   protamine sulfate
