7. The left and right hepatic ducts combine to form which of the following?
Common hepatic duct.

hepatic duct is part of the biliary tract, which transports bile from the liverto the small
intestine.
8. Unlike an angiogram, a thrombolysis procedure is performed by insertingthe catheter
how?
,Using a percutaneous needle.
Through a small incision.
Directly into the thrombus site.
None of the above: Through a small incision
An angiogram typically uses a needle to create a percutaneous puncture for the catheter.
However, a thrombolysis may use a larger catheter or need a larger entryport to target a
thrombus, so the technician will create a small incision in the skin inorder to gain better
access. The incision is typically very small and may or may notneed a stitch/suture to close
9. Which of the following is NOT one of the major branches of the celiactrunk?
Left gastric artery.
Splenic artery.

gastric artery. The superior mesenteric artery is a branch of thethoracic artery.
10. A patient is scheduled to undergo an angiography of the adrenal glands.Monitoring the
patient's blood pressure is important to evaluate the patient for symptoms of:
Electrolyte imbalances
Activated clotting time
Hypertensive crisis
Hypertrophy: Hypertensive crisis
The blood pressure is monitored constantly during an angiography procedure of the adrenal
glands. The monitoring helps to identify emergency conditions, such asmalignant hypertensive
crisis.
Hypertensive crisis often develops from kidney failure, individuals who have vasculardisorders,
such as collagen vascular disorder, renal artery stenosis that leads to renal hypertension, to
name a few.
Symptoms of hypertensive crisis may include: confusion, fatigue, chest pain, headache,
blurred vision, seizure, weakness or numbness in the extremities, forinstance.
, 11. When performing lower limb venography, an injection is made into whichof the

12. Positioning of the patient for renal venography is done in the:
Supine positionSim's
Fowlers
Trendelenburg: Supine position
A renal venograph is an x-ray that is used to evaluate the kidneys. The test can also determine
the amount of hormone levels the kidney is producing. Further, renal venography is indicated
for evaluation of the kidneys for tumors or renal cell carcinoma, blood clots (renal thrombus),
for instance. Access for catheter insertionis done through the femoral or jugular vein.
Positioning of the patient involves placing the patient in the supine position on the x-ray table.
The patient's abdomen is centered so that it is over the film. The skin located over the femoral
vein, if used for access, is prepped by cleaning the skin using antiseptic liquid and then draped.
An anesthetic agent is then injected, followedby cannulation of the femoral vein. Fluoroscopic
guidance is used where a guide wire is threaded into the vein and a catheter is inserted over
the wire and passed into the inferior vena cava.
