Introduction: Balloon valvuloplasty is the treatment of choice for dogs with severe type A pulmonic stenosis (PS), but less successful for dogs with annular hypoplasia and unsuitable for supravalvular stenosis or cases with a circumpulmonary coronary malformation. We report outcomes and...

Pulmonic stenosis is a relatively common congenital anomaly in dogs. It represents the narrowing of the pulmonary valve and/or the outlet portion of the right ventricle, leading to disruption of blood flow from the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery during systole. Pulmonic stenosis...

Objectives: The aims of this study were to determine whether murmur intensity in adult dogs with pulmonic stenosis or subaortic stenosis reflects echocardiographic disease severity and to determine whether a six-level murmur grading scheme provides clinical advantages over a four-level scheme....

Objectives: To determine whether breed affects the ability of murmur intensity to predict the severity of stenosis in dogs with pulmonic stenosis or subaortic stenosis. Materials and Methods: Retrospective multi-investigator study of dogs with pulmonic stenosis or subaortic stenosis. Murmur...

Four dogs presented for evaluation and treatment of severe pulmonic valve stenosis and underwent stenting of the pulmonic valve annulus using bare-metal balloon-expandable stents. All dogs survived the procedure with immediate reduction of the transpulmonary valve pressure gradient and increase in...

Background and Aim: Pulmonic stenosis (PS) is the most common congenital heart disease in dogs. This condition causes right ventricle (RV) overload and disrupts overall systolic function. The aim of this study was to examine the alterations of cardiac electrical activity and mechanical function in ...

Percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty is considered the standard of care for treatment of valvular pulmonic stenosis, a common congenital defect in dogs. Supravalvular pulmonic stenosis is a rare form of pulmonic stenosis in dogs and standard treatment has not been established. Although, there have...

Background: Beta-blockade is sometimes used in dogs with pulmonic stenosis with the intent of reducing frequency of ventricular arrhythmias during right heart catheterization. Objectives: To evaluate if pretreatment with atenolol reduces frequency of ventricular arrhythmias, anesthetist...

Objectives: To describe the outcome for nine dogs with pulmonic stenosis treated by open patch grafting using expanded polytetrafluoroethylene under cardiopulmonary bypass. Materials and methods: Data were collected from the hospital records of all dogs that had undergone right ventricular outflow...

A 2.5-month-old female French Bulldog presented at Small Animal Hospital Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Mahanakorn University of Technology because jugular pulsation was detected. On physical examination, a systolic murmur 4/6 heard best over the left heart base. Right lateral thoracic radiography...
