Patent ductus arteriosus in dogs.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is the most common congenital heart disease in dogs. It is due to the failure of the ductus arteriosus muscle to constrict, leaving a passageway for blood flow and resulting in eventual left-sided heart disease and/or generalized heart failure. It is hereditary in several breeds. The typical left-to-right PDA is amenable to minimally invasive procedures or open surgery. The ideal surgical candidate for PDA occlusion is immature and lightweight, with minimal heart changes. There is a wide variety of surgical techniques involving different methods of dissection and suture passage. Intraoperative hemorrhage during dissection is the most serious potential complication and can be life-threatening. Minimally invasive techniques such as thorascopic ligation and intravascular coiling have been claimed to have lower morbidity and mortality than open techniques. Once the PDA is occluded, most patients have remodeling of the myocardial tissues, resulting in an excellent long-term prognosis. Late complications such as residual flow and recanalization are rare but may be clinically significant.

Patent ductus arteriosus in a lamb: A case report
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a persistent patency of a vessel normally present in the fetus that connects the pulmonary arterial system to the aorta. The ductus arteriosus fails to close at birth when breathing commences and placental blood circulation is removed. Closure of the ductus arteriosus arises in response to decline pulmonary vascular resistance and increased systemic vascular re...

Clinical studies of a family of Saluki dogs demonstrated a spectrum of cardiac malformations, which ranged from mild thickening of a pulmonic valve leaflet to a complex condition composed of tricuspid valve insufficiency, pulmonic stenosis, patent ductus arteriosus, and mitral valve insufficiency. All affected dogs had patent ductus arteriosus or ductus diverticulum, which is an incomplete or a...

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is the most common congenital heart disease in dogs and usually causes heart failure and death unless corrected at a young age.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether or not preoperative clinical parameters could predict left ventricular reverse remodeling in dogs who underwent successful patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure.

BACKGROUND Diagnosis of extracardiac intrathoracic vascular anomalies is of clinical importance, but remains challenging. Traditional imaging modalities, such as radiography, echocardiography, and angiography, are inherently limited by the difficulties of a 2-dimensional approach to a 3-dimensional object. We postulated that accurate characterization of malformations of the aorta would benefit ...
