What is the overall ABI?

When the blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients from your heart to the rest of your body (arteries) become thick and stiff it is called

The buildup of fats, cholesterol and other substances in and on your artery walls (plaques), which can restrict blood flow is called

Atherosclerosis is a specific type of arteriosclerosis

True

False

What is most likely occurring inside your patient's leg to cause this increase in peripheral pressures?

there artery has been partially blocked due to a build up of plaque

the blood flow to the leg has been restricted

smoking has damaged the blood vessels

all of these 

If the narrowing of the artery worsens which of the following is correctly matched to describe a medical intervention that could be used to treat the problem and prevent a possible future amputation of the leg

Angiogram - In this procedure, a small hollow tube (catheter) is threaded
through a blood vessel to the affected artery. There, a small balloon on the tip
of the catheter is inflated to reopen the artery and flatten the blockage into
the artery wall, while at the same time stretching the artery open to increase
blood flow.

Thrombolytic therapy - In this procedure, a small hollow tube (catheter) is
threaded through a blood vessel to the affected artery. There, a small balloon
on the tip of the catheter is inflated to reopen the artery and flatten the
blockage into the artery wall, while at the same time stretching the artery open
to increase blood flow.

Angioplasty- In this procedure, a small hollow tube (catheter) is threaded
through a blood vessel to the affected artery. There, a small balloon on the tip
of the catheter is inflated to reopen the artery and flatten the blockage into
the artery wall, while at the same time stretching the artery open to increase
blood flow.

Bypass surgery - In this procedure, a small hollow tube (catheter) is threaded
through a blood vessel to the affected artery. There, a small balloon on the tip
of the catheter is inflated to reopen the artery and flatten the blockage into
the artery wall, while at the same time stretching the artery open to increase
blood flow.
