Cardio Flashcards
McNamara, JAVMA 2023
Risk factors for intraoperative hemorrhage and perioperative complications and short- and long-term outcomes during surgical patent ductus arteriosus ligation in 417 dogs
-rate of intraoperative haemorrhage?
-mortality rate?
-11% intraop haemorrhage (95% of which survived to discharge)
-2% mortality
Grimes, Vet surg 2022
Surgical ligation of patent ductus arteriosus in dogs: Incidence and risk factors for rupture
-rate of PDA rupture?
-rate of mortality?
-what factor was associated with increased likelihood of residual flow?
-7%
-0.4% (1/285 case!)
The overall rate of residual flow after ligation was 9.4%. Dogs with rupture were more likely to have residual flow than those without rupture (P = .012).
If ligation after rupture (rather than hemostasis only), no difference in residual flow rates (P = .398) was noted between dogs with rupture and those without.
Raleigh, vet surg 2022
The development of ventricular fibrillation as a complication of pericardiectomy in 16 dogs
-what percentage of cases was vfib during electrosurgical use?
-what number dogs had cardiac arrhythmias prior to vfib?
-8/15 (53%) vfib during electrosurgery
-7/16 (43%) had arrhythmias before vfib
Rossanese, JSAP 2022
Clinical findings, surgical treatment and long-term outcome of dogs and cats with double aortic arch: four cases (2005-2022)
-what surgical approach was used?
-which aortic arch was most developed?
-L 4th ICT
-R aortic arch most developed in all 3 that had angiography
Matsuura JAVMA 2021
Metabolic alkalosis following mitral valvuloplasty in a dog with preoperative acute kidney injury
-what medication was given to treat the severe metabolic alkalosis?
-acetazolamide
Mihara, vet surg 2024
Effects of mitral valve repair on valvular geometry and hemodynamics in dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease
-how acutely did changes occur within mitral valve geometry?
-how long did changes in VHS take to manifest?
-1 week
-3 months for VHS changes
