RVT Registry Challenge
Students and new grads—this one is for you.
The image demonstrates a vertebral artery waveform.
Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The vertebral artery normally demonstrates antegrade flow toward the brain.
B. Bidirectional flow may suggest developing subclavian steal physiology.
C. Complete flow reversal in the vertebral artery can be associated with proximal subclavian artery stenosis or occlusion.
D. The vertebral artery normally supplies blood flow to the lower extremities.

When you see a vertebral artery question, think:
✅ Antegrade = normal
✅ Bunny waveform = pre-steal / latent steal
✅ Bidirectional flow = partial steal
✅ Retrograde flow = complete steal
✅ Always evaluate the ipsilateral subclavian artery. Keep up the great work 😊
