Tracheal hypoplasia with a discrete subaortic septal ridge in a Rottweiler puppy

J Vet Diagn Invest. 2009 Jan;21(1):117-9. doi: 10.1177/104063870902100118.

Abstract

Concurrent tracheal hypoplasia and discrete subaortic stenosis are described in a 12-week-old Rottweiler puppy that presumably died of pulmonary edema. A brief literature review and comparison to previously published cases of tracheal hypoplasia in other breeds is presented along with a description of a subaortic septal ridge and comparison to the analogous condition in humans.
