Objective: To report the diagnosis, treatment, and short-term outcome in dogs with suspected persistent right aortic arch (PRAA) undergoing thoracoscopy with concurrent esophagoscopy. Study Design: Multi-institutional retrospective case series. Animals: Dogs with suspected PRAA (n=9). Methods:...

Objective: To describe the clinical presentation of a dog with fatal hemorrhage from an aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) immediately following endoscopic removal of an osseous esophageal foreign body. Case Summary: A 12-year-old, male mixed-breed dog presented to a university hospital with a 6-day...

Objective: To characterize a population of dogs presenting for esophageal foreign body removal and evaluate factors associated with degree of esophagitis and minor and major complications. Design: Retrospective evaluation of dogs who presented for esophageal foreign body removal between January...

Indications of esophagoscopy for diagnostic assessment and treatment of patients with symptoms of the esophageal diseases, including regurgitation, dysphagia, odynophagia, and excessive salivation. The aim of this review article was to apply the esophagoscopy to be the most valuable diagnostic...

Upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy typically involves performing esophagoscopy, gastroscopy, and duodenoscopy together. In some cases, these procedures may be performed on an individual basis. While esophagoscopy allows evaluation of the oesophagus and can be useful in patients with esophagitis, ...

Benign esophageal stricture is a rare affection in small animals, usually secondary to ulcerative esophagitis. Gastroesophageal reflux, frequent during anesthetic procedures, is the main cause of severe esophagitis with consequent formation of esophageal cicatrix. The objective of this work is to...

Objective: It was hypothesized that typical characteristics of hyperregeneratory esophagopathy (HRE) in humans such as basal cell hyperplasia and elongation of stromal papillae are also histologically detectable in canine esophageal epithelium, and that these changes are associated with clinical...

Objective: To characterize the clinical and radiographic signs, endoscopic findings, treatment, and outcome for dogs that present with esophageal foreign bodies (EFBs), and to identify factors associated with the severity of secondary esophagitis and length of hospitalization (LOH). Design:...

This case report describes a 6-year-old, castrated male, Pekingese dog diagnosed with a distal esophageal obstruction caused by the ingestion of a matzah ball and the life-threatening complications that may occur from the ingestion of a whole matzah ball. The dog was treated conservatively for two...

The aim of the paper is to present own experience in diagnosis and endoscopic removal of foreign bodies from the oesophagus in dogs. The study was performed on 22 dogs of different breed and sex, aged 7 months to 17 years, with suspicion of a foreign body in the oesophagus. All the dogs were...
