Differences between clot and thrombus
A clot, or thrombus, is defined as a
local aggregation of platelets and fibrin with
entrapped blood cells, whereas thromboembolism
is defined as migration of a formed thrombus
Definition of thrombosis
Thrombosis is defined as a pathological clot formation
leading to occlusion of blood supply and
ischemia
Differential diagnosis causes Thromboembolism
cardiomyopathy,
neoplasia, hyperadrenocorticism,
Dirofilariasis infestation, or immune-mediated
hemolytic anaemia
Complications of the treatment of FAT with tissue plasminogen activator
severe reperfusion
injuries (RI) and bleeding
The benefits of tissue plasminogen activator use
lysis of the
thrombus, blood vessel recanalization, pain relief,
and improved organ function depending on the
location of thrombus, such as increased cognitive
function or restoration of vision, and may outweigh
complications such as bleeding, RI, and acute
kidney injury (AKI) [
Definition of reperfusion injury
Reperfusion
injury is defined as a rise in serum potassium
above institutional range without a concurrent rise
in blood urea nitrogen and creatinine
Risk factors for hypercoagulability
include protein-losing nephropathy (PLN), protein-losing
enteropathy (PLE), hyperadrenocorticism, hypothyroidism, neoplasia, and recent corticosteroid administration.
Pharmaceutical therapies are used in aortic thrombosis management in dogs
platelet inhibition by administration of aspirin or clopidogrel anticoagulation by administration of unfractionated heparin, low molecular weight heparin, factor Xa inhibitors, warfarin systemic thrombolysis using tissue plasminogen activator(TPA) or streptokinase
Combined interventional techniques used in aortic thrombosis management in dogs
Rheolytic thrombectomy,
catheter-directed thrombolysis/thrombectomy, balloon angioplasty, and
vascular stenting
Leriche Syndrome
Leriche Syndrome is an aortoiliac occlusive disease marked by chronic onset of diminished femoral pulses, impotence, and claudication induced by exercise.
Heartworm
Dirofilaria immitis
subcutaneous dirofilariasis
Dirofilaria repens
What Dirofilaria is considered an emerging zoonotic agent in Europe
Dirofilaria repens
Heartworm disease in cats
It maybe associated
with severe pulmonary thromboembolism and an
eosinophilic inflammatory response in the lungs,
potentially leading to sudden death. Otherwise
self-cure occurs in most cases after 18–48 months.
Diagnosis of dirofilariosis in cats
Diagnosis in cats is
more difficult compared with dogs and needs a
multistep approach (antigen and antibody tests,
as well as diagnostic imaging). Cats with acute
heartworm disease require stabilisation within an
intensive care unit. Cats with respiratory signs or
suggestive radiographic changes should receive
prednisolone and follow-up with a similar multistep
approach. Adulticidal therapy is not safe in cats.
Prevention of dirofilariasis in cats
In endemic areas cats should
receive year-round chemoprophylaxis from
2 months of age.
Characteristic of double chamber right ventricle
DCRV is characterized by intraventricular pressure gradients greater than 20 mmHg, turbulent flow patterns in the ventricle, and increased pulmonary flow .
