Percutaneous catheter-based treatment of pulmonic stenosis and patent ductus arteriosus in a dog

J Vet Cardiol. 2002 Nov;4(2):29-34. doi: 10.1016/S1760-2734(06)70036-4.

Abstract

A 6-months old female German shepherd dog was referred for management of congenital heart disease. A diagnosis of pulmonic stenosis (PS) and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) was confirmed by Doppler echocardiography and cardiac catheterisation. The conditions were treated during a single cardiac catheterisation procedure using percutaneous techniques. Gianturco coil embolisation was used to close the PDA, and the PS was relieved using a balloon valvuloplasty technique.
