Which statement correctly contrasts Turbohawk and CSI in terms of vessel damage?

• A. Turbohawk indiscriminately cuts portions of media and intima tunica; CSI does not damage vessel
• B. CSI indiscriminately cuts portions of media and intima tunica; Turbohawk does not damage vessels
• C. Both harm vessels equally
• D. Neither damages vessels

Answer: (A)

This is about how Turbohawk and CSI interact with blood vessel walls. Turbohawk is described as indiscriminately cutting portions of the vessel’s inner and middle layers—the tunica intima and tunica media—so it can cause direct damage to the vessel wall. CSI, on the other hand, is described as not damaging vessels, preserving the integrity of those layers. Why that matters: injury to the tunica intima or tunica media can lead to complications like endothelial disruption, thrombosis, or weakening of the vessel. So the statement that Turbohawk damages the vessel while CSI does not best reflects the contrasting effects of the two tools. The other possibilities imply either no difference in damage, equal damage, or damage by CSI, which contradicts the described behaviors.
