Summary Introduction
To write:
The two ways in which the great saphenous vein has special clinical significance and the location of this vein.
Introduction:
The great saphenous vein originates from the middle of the arch and moves up the leg and thigh to the inguinal region. It is the longest vein in the body. It empties into the femoral vein slightly inferior to the inguinal ligament.

A 50-year-old male patient arrives in the emergency department complaining of severe chest pain. He is taken to the cardiac cath lab for a coronary angiogram and left ventriculogram. The cardiologist discovers a lesion in the left main coronary artery branch and orders an immediate CABG.
1. Why does the location of this lesion make it more dangerous than lesions in other locations?
2. What does the acronym CABG stand for?
3. Assuming that the CABG is successful, what is the patient's postoperative prognosis?
4. Could the cardiologist perform an angioplasty to repair the lesion?

In the cardiac catheterization lab he was "found to have a totally occluded distal right coronary artery and a 70% occlusion in the left circumflex coronary artery. The left anterior descending artery was patent. Angioplasty of the distal right coronary artery resulted in a patent infarct- related artery with near normal flow. A stent was left in place to stabilize the patient and limit infarct size. Left ventricular ejection fraction was normal at 42%, and a posterobasilar scar was present with hypokinesis." a.

The pulse may be felt easily on any superficial artery when the artery is compressed over a bone or firm tissue. Palpate the pulse by placing the fingertips of the first two or three fingers of one hand over the radial artery. It helps to compress the artery firmly as you begin your palpation and then immediately ease up on the pressure slightly. Notice the regularity of the pulse, and assess the degree of tension or amplitude. With your sitting quietly, practice counting the radial pulse for 1 minute. Make three counts and average the results. Upload your results in the correct file format: docx, PDF, Jeg or PNG. If you do not know how to measure pulse rate watch this video.
