Abstract
The following questions for SVU-CME examination are based on the article entitled “Liquefied Thrombus Mimicking an Endoleak on Duplex Ultrasound.”
Both true/false and multiple-choice questions are included. There is only one (1) correct answer for the multiple-choice test items. Answer all the questions as listed below. One-half (1/2) CME credit will be awarded for successful completion of this test with a grade of 80% or more.
Surgical repair on the patient’s abdominal aortic aneurysm was performed when the aneurysm reached ___________ in diameter. 3.1 mm 5.1 mm 3.1 cm 5.1 cm
Computed tomography angiography has better sensitivity for endoleak detection and is ideal for long-term follow-up. True False
According to the article, _______________had previously been considered a trouble-shooting imaging modality reserved for complex cases with suspected endoleaks. computed tomography angiography contrast-enhanced ultrasound conventional duplex ultrasound magnetic resonance imaging
Which imaging modality is best for the long-term surveillance of an endovascular aortic repair? Computed tomography angiography Contrast-enhanced ultrasound Conventional duplex ultrasound Magnetic resonance imaging
On routine surveillance with duplex ultrasound, the patient’s aortic aneurysm increased from 5.2 cm to 5.5 cm diameter. This increase in aortic sac size is a/an __________finding. equivocal incidental normal concerning
It is important for sonographers to be aware of the phenomenon of a liquefied pulsatile thrombus which can mimic an endoleak on duplex ultrasound. True False
Instructions: CME tests are offered only online at www.svu.org. SVU Members can complete the tests and earn CME for free. Nonmembers will be charged $20 per 1/2 CME test taken. All exams for SVU CME must be completed by February 28, 2025.
