Objective: To evaluate the angiosomes of the superior and inferior labial arteries in the cat and describe the use of a musculomucosal axial pattern flap incorporating each artery for reconstruction of palatal defects in cats. Study design: Cadaveric study and a series of two clinical cases. Sample ...

The spinal cord issues affect dogs and cats very commonly. The right diagnostics, therapy, and patient's managements are challenging for almost all veterinarians. There exist many vascular anomalies such as: the vertebral arteries ectasia, hypoplasia and subclavian steal syndrome. These anomalies...

The aim of the study was to highlight the role and importance of computed tomography using contrast substances to identify de main blood vessels in the thoracic and abdominal cavity of cat. Evaluation of the blood vessel in animal prove to be rather difficult using other imaging methods (B mode US, ...

The objective of this study was to investigate the possibility of obtaining high-resolution multiplanar computed tomography (CT) imaging of the cranial arterial circulation of the cat (Felis catus), the rete mirabile, and components of the skull, utilizing preserved cat specimens with an arterial...

Case summary: A 9-year male neutered domestic longhair cat was referred to our hospital for investigation of recurrent urinary tract obstruction. The clinical signs had started 12 months earlier and the cat had been catheterised on multiple occasions. Clinical examination and abdominal ultrasound...

Preoperative knowledge of the renal vascular anatomy is important for selection of the appropriate feline renal donor. Intravenous urograms (IVUs) have been performed routinely to screen potential donors at the Veterinary Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (VHUP), but the vascular phase...

CASE DESCRIPTION: A 13-year-old neutered male Abyssinian cat with a 4-month history of right forelimb edema and multifocal crusting lesions at the distal aspect of the antebrachium was referred to a veterinary teaching hospital for evaluation. Extensive hemorrhage from the lesions had been observed ...

OBJECTIVE: To assess and compare results of anterior segment angiography of ophthalmologically normal cats following IV injection with indocyanine green and sodium fluorescein dyes. ANIMALS: 10 client-owned cats. PROCEDURES: Anterior segment angiography was performed in anesthetized cats following...

Renal dual-phase computed tomograpic angiography (CTA) is used to assess suitability of feline donors prior to transplantation. A prerequisite for successful CTA is optimal synchronization between the arterial passage of contrast material and CT data acquisition. This retrospective study was...

The introduction of X-rays in the support of necropsy was initiated in 1898. Nowadays, imaging modalities, such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance post mortem, are being used to complement the necropsy. Studies in veterinary medicine about virtual necropsy are at the beginning, but have...
