Abstract
The following questions for SVU-CME credit are based on the article entitled “Acquired Uterine Arteriovenous Malformation: Treatment with Uterine Artery Embolization.”
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 listed below. One-half (0.5) CME credit will be awarded for successful completion of this test with a grade of 80% or more.
A uterine arteriovenous malformation is an abnormal connection between which of the following: Uterine artery and ovarian vein Internal iliac artery and uterine vein Uterine vein and ovarian vein Uterine artery and venous plexus in the myometrium
Uterine arteriovenous malformations are a rare cause of vaginal bleeding that can result in life-threatening hemorrhage if left untreated. True False
Ultrasound characteristics seen with color and pulsed Doppler in an arteriovenous malformation included all of the following except: Color aliasing and flow reversal High resistive flow pattern High velocity, low-resistance flow High velocity, turbulent flow
The gold standard for diagnostic evaluation and confirmation of a uterine arteriovenous malformation is angiography. True False
According to the article, imaging modalities used to diagnose uterine arteriovenous malformations include all of the following except: Computed tomography Magnetic resonance imaging Transvaginal ultrasound Venography
According to the article, patients may have successful intrauterine pregnancies following treatment of uterine artery malformation by uterine artery embolization. True False
