Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
Veins are technically more difficult to anastomose than are arteries because their walls are thinner and have less substantial muscular. Arterial grafts do not thrombose and occlude as readily as do venous grafts.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A shunt is inserted into the artery to maintain blood flow to the brain while the carotid artery plaque is removed.
