RATIONALE 1–18
1. RATIONALE
The three main arteries of the head and neck supplying the cerebral arterial bed arise from the most proximal segment of the arch or the distal portion of the ascending aorta. Their origins may be quite separate or very close, as there may be a common origin of the brachiocephalic trunk with the left common carotid artery in 10% of the population. This variation has clinical significance, as the proximal landing zone is increased by such a variation during performance of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). During transfemoral left carotid artery stenting, access to the left common carotid artery may pose technical challenges. Occasionally, there is “V-shaped origin” of both common carotid arteries from a single short trunk before the continu­ation on each side of the neck.
Correct Answer A Under 10% of individuals

2. RATIONALE
The aberrant right subclavian artery was first described in 1725 as arising from the descending thoracic aorta, is one of the most common congenital anomalies of the aortic arch and occurs in 0.05%–1% of the population. Symptoms of the aberrant right subclavian artery are mostly related to the development of aneurysmal disease, which occurs at its origin. The aneurysm can develop in nearly 60% of cases of aberrant right subclavian artery and is known as Kommerell diverticulum. Dysphagia may develop in early childhood or later in life due to aneurysmal changes. The course of the artery is usually posterior to the esophagus. The ideal method of diagnosis is barium esophagogram with confirmatory CT or MR angiography.
Correct Answer B Aberrant aneurysmal right subclavian artery

3. RATIONALE
Carotid basilar anastomoses are rare arterial anomalies in which embryonic connections between the carotid and vertebral arterial system persist. The persistent trigeminal artery is the most com­mon and the most cephalad-located embryological anastomosis between the developing carotid artery and the vertebrobasilar system to persist into adult life. Its incidence ranges from 0.1% to
0.6% by MRA and CTA imaging. The persistent primitive hypoglossal artery has been reported in
0.03%–0.26% of cases undergoing cerebral arteriography. A persistent hypoglossal artery arises from the internal carotid artery between the cervical first and cervical second vertebral body levels and traverses through the hypoglossal canal to join the vertebrobasilar circulation.
Correct Answer B Persistent trigeminal artery

After arising from the first part of subclavian artery, the vertebral artery ascends through the foramen in the transverse process of the sixth cervical vertebra into the first cervical vertebra and then it courses laterally, entering the skull through the foramen magnum and joins the opposite vertebral artery to form the basilar artery. Vertebral arteries are often (80%–85%) vari­able in their size. In many instances, one vertebral artery may be large and dominant with the contralateral vertebral artery hypoplastic or in rare circumstances even absent. The origin of the vertebral artery can be variable. They may arise from the second portion of the subclavian artery and may have a duplicate origin. The left vertebral artery may arise from the arch of the aorta between the left common carotid artery and left subclavian artery in 5%–7% of cases, and the vertebral artery may enter the fourth. fifth, or seventh cervical vertebra.

Anatomically, the axillary artery becomes the brachial artery at the lateral border of the teres major muscle and terminates by dividing into the radial and ulnar artery about 1 cm below the elbow joint. The brachial artery may occasionally divide proximally (in the middle of the upper arm) and then reunite. The brachial arter y may course superficially in front of the median ner ve and then behind the nerve (3.6%–9%). High bifurcation of the brachial artery into the radial and ulnar artery occurs in 8% of cases. Most often in this variant, the radial artery then becomes the brachioradial artery and courses on a superficial plane, while the ulnar artery and the common interosseous artery continue as a common trunk. Variations in the brachial artery have implications in clinical practice this may result in complications during vascular interventions and open reconstructions. High bifurcation of the brachial artery is important during performance of an arteriovenous graft for permanent hemodialysis access. Some studies have demonstrated inferior patency of arteriove­nous grafts in patients with high bifurcation of the brachial artery.

The popliteal artery terminates into anterior tibial artery and tibioperoneal trunk at the inferior border of the popliteus (4–5 cm below the knee joint line). The high origin of the anterior tibial artery or its aberrant course may increase the risk of iatrogenic arterial injury during knee surgery. In a review of femoral arteriograms in 1,242 patients, 89.2% had a normal branching

When the branching pattern of the popliteal artery is normal in one extremity, there is a 13% probability that the contralateral side will have a variable pattern. When the branching pattern is variant in an extremity, there is a 28% probability that the oppo­site side will have a variant pattern.

7. RATIONALE
The autoregulatory response to changes in blood pressure helps to maintain a constant and stable cerebral blood flow despite wide fluctuations in mean blood pressure. Decrease in blood pressure leads to cerebral vasodilation and increase in blood pressure leads to cerebral vasoconstriction. This autoregulation is much less effective at maintaining constant blood flow at mean pressures below 60 mmHg or mean pressure above 150 mmHg. This autoregula­tion is modulated by the activity of the autonomic nervous system renin-angiotensin system in the vessel wall, via CO2, by vasoactive and morphologic changes in the vessel walls. This autoregulatory range is shifted toward the right in patients with long-standing hypertension. This autoregulatory response is also present in the coronary and renal vasculature, but not in the peripheral vasculature. Cerebral blood flow can be measured noninvasively by vascular Doppler sonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and near-infrared spectroscopy.
Correct Answer A 60 mmHg and 150 mmHg

The arterioles constitute the vascular territory with the largest contribution to the resistance, as a maximum drop in pressure occurs in them. Arterioles are also known as resistive arteries. Mean arterial pressure is relatively constant in the aorta and the muscular, as well as elastic

arteries with pulsatile flow. Pulsatility disappears greatly in the arterioles and is absent in capil­laries and venules. Peripheral vascular resistance or systemic vascular resistance (SVR) is the resistance in the circulatory system that is used to create blood pressure and the flow of blood. When the blood vessels constrict, it leads to an increase in SVR and a decrease in SVR when blood vessels dilate. Vascular resistance is used to maintain organ perfusion, and in shock there is a decrease in SVR causing decreased organ perfusion. SVR is mediated by local metabolites and neurohormonal factors.
Correct Answer B Arterioles

It is apparent that the arterioles constitute the vascular territory with the largest resistance, as they experience the largest drop in pressure. These vessels are known as resistive arteries. The resistance is determined by several factors, including vessel length and diameter. Poiseuille flow is a useful concept from fluid mechanics to understand the relationship between flow, pressure, and resistance. The pressure gradient (ΔP) drives flow through the vessel, which moves from a point of higher pressure (pressure proximal) to a point of lower pressure (pressure distal). The flow has a parabolic shape, with a maximum velocity (velocity max) at the center of the lumen and zero velocity at the interface with the endothelial surface.
In the Hagen–Poiseuille flow equation, the relationship between flow (Q), pressure drop (ΔP), and resistance are:

where μ is the blood viscosity, L is the vessel length over which the given pressure drop (ΔP) takes place, and R is the vessel radius. It is thus apparent that the vessel radius plays a much larger role in terms of vascular resistance than the vessel length due to its power-of-4 exponent. This explains why relatively small changes in vascular tone significantly alter vascular resistance (e.g., a 10% vasoconstriction results in an increase of 50% in vascular resistance).

The wall shear stress expresses the force per unit area exerted by the wall on the fluid in a direction on the local tangent plane. The fluid in the human body is represented by the blood. The typical value of the wall shear stress in the arterial system is 10–100 dynes/cm2. Acting tangentially to the endoarterial surface, pressure is much larger (1000 times). Wall shear stress (T = μ velocity divided by R). It is obvious from this equation that a larger viscos­ity and velocity will lead to larger wall shear stress. High wall stress is the most important factor in the development of high-risk plaque. In a thoracic endograft, the wall shear stress acts tangentially to the surface of the endograft, whereas the pressure is perpendicular to the surface of the endograft.
Correct Answer C Larger viscosity and larger velocity

Laplace law for the gauge pressure inside a cylindrical membrane is given by ΔP = Y divided by r (Y/r), where Y is the surface tension and r is the radius of the cylinder. Therefore, there is an inverse relationship between the pressure and the radius. Hoop stress is the stress that occurs along the pipe’s circumference when pressure is applied and acts perpendicular to the axial direction. Three principal stressors are measured when the ends are closed and the cylinder and the pipe are subjected to internal pressure: Hoop stress, longitudinal stress (L), and radial stress (r). In a thin-walled pipe with a wall thickness less than the diameter, radial stress is neg­ligible. The hoop stress increases the pipe’s diameter, whereas the longitudinal stress increases the pipe’s length. Hoop stress is usually twice the size of the longitudinal stress. Hoop stress is also called tangential or circumferential stress. According to Laplace law, given equal end

pressures and wall morphology, the wall of a larger-diameter blood vessel experiences greater tension than that of a smaller-diameter pipe (blood vessel).

The elastin matrix has a low stiffness value. At higher stress, the collagen fibers cause the vessel to become stiffer. The shape and compliance curves as well as stiffness curves for two differ­ent blood vessels are distinct, due to the axes of stress/pressure and strain/volume varying. Compliance is the change in the volume (Δ v) imposed on the blood vessel by a given change in the pressure (ΔP) as the pulse pressure between the systole and diastole. The larger the pres­sure, the smaller the compliance. Distensibility (D) is equal to the ratio of changes in the lumi­nal area between the systole and the diastole divided by the pulse pressure. Distensibility is therefore a similar metric to compliance obtained via changes in the luminal area of the vessel rather than via changes in volume. At low strains and pressures, elastin fibers bear the burden of stress, which has low values of stiffness.
Correct Answer A Elastin fibers

Most patients with cerebrovascular FMD are asymptomatic middle-aged women who are other­wise healthy. The cause of FMD is unknown. Approximately 10% of patients with FMD have an affected family member as well. Patients may present with headaches or dizziness, and a carotid bruit may be detectable on physical examination. The incidence of ischemic cerebral events is quite low at long-term follow-up. Occasionally, cerebral ischemia secondary to a thromboemboli origi­nating from a diseased arterial segment or from a low-flow state occurs. Patients may present with arterial dissection. There is a higher incidence of intracranial aneurysms in patients with internal carotid artery or vertebral artery FMD. Duplex ultrasound is a standard first-line modalit y in diag­nosing FMD. However, Doppler velocity diagnostic criteria applicable to atherosclerotic disease are not reliable in the diagnosis of FMD. CTA or MRA of the neck are useful techniques in diagnos­ing FMD. CTA is preferable, but MRA may be helpful in diagnosing concurrent arterial dissection through simultaneously acquired T1-fat saturation images with a time-of-flight or gadolinium­enhanced imaging. Low-dose aspirin is indicated. Duplex surveillance to rule out aneurysmal

Pulse wave velocity represents the velocity at which the pressure and flow waves propagate through the circulatory system and indicates the speed at which a wave travels down an elastic vessel with typical values in the 5–10 m/s range. The speed is faster in the stiffer vessel. Pulse wave velocity is a biomarker of arterial stiffness, which is a known independent predictor of all-cause cardiovascular mortality in patients with hypertension. Pulse wave velocity increases with age for every blood pressure category, denoting an overall stiffness of the aorta with increasing age.

Fibromuscular dysplasia is classified according to the affected segment of the arterial wall. The same classification is used for all the arteries affected by fibromuscular dysplasia. Medial fibropla­sia is the most common (80%–90%), with a “string-of-beads” appearance secondary to alternating thinned and thickened medial ridges. This appearance on arteriography is secondary to stenotic webs that cause sequential stenosis and dilatations in the arterial wall. These dilatations may lead to aneurysmal degeneration. Intimal fibroplasia is responsible for about 10% cases of fibromuscular dysplasia, resulting in a long concentric stenotic lesion secondary to intimal collagen deposits. The differential diagnosis includes atherosclerosis, vasculitis, and connective tissue disorder.
Correct Answer B Medial fibroplasia

The right crus separates the suprarenal aorta from the inferior vena cava (IVC). During trans­peritoneal exposure of the juxtarenal aorta, the left renal vein may need to be divided close to the IVC to preserve collateral venous flow from the left kidney via the gonadal and adrenal vein. After division of the medial crus, the suprarenal aorta is carefully exposed and mobilized. The adrenal artery often needs to be ligated and divided before application of a suprarenal aorta clamp during
