BRisk score was associated with negative outcome
Dogs with BRisk scores >3 were 9 times more likely to have a negative outcome

CT-based measurement of soft tissue proportion at the rostral entrance of choanae was the only predictor for candidacy for LATE in addition to conventional multilevel BOAS surgery
60% had temporary episodes of reverse sneezing, and 40% had nasal noise when sniffing and excited
Gobbetti, Vet Surg, 2018:
Permanent tracheostomy for severe laryngeal collapse secondary to BOAS
Major complication rate?
Early mortality rate?
What was the leading cause of acute early death?
What % of dogs had obstruction of the stoma caused by skin folds?
Gobbetti, Vet Surg, 2018:
80% major complication rate
40% early mortality rate
Stoma obstruction by secretions and mucus plugs was the leading cause of acute early death
20% had obstruction of the stoma caused by skin folds
Gianella, JVIM, 2019:
What % of dogs had GI signs?
What % of dogs had varying degrees of laryngeal collapse?
Gianella, JVIM, 2019:
77% had GI signs
87% had varying degrees of laryngeal collapse
Worth, JAVMA, 2018:
Temporary tracheostomy requirement post-op
What factor increased the odds of requiring temporary tracheostomy post-op?
Did the staphylectomy technique (CO2 laser vs incisional) affect the odds of requiring temporary tracheostomy post-op?
Worth, JAVMA, 2018:
The odds of requiring temporary tracheostomy post-op increased 1.3 times for each 1 year increase in age
No, staphylectomy technique was not associated with the odds of requiring temporary tracheostomy post-op
Sakai, Vet Surg, 2018:
What facilitated the identification of unilateral laryngeal paralysis?
Sakai, Vet Surg, 2018:
CO2 administration facilitated the identification of unilateral laryngeal paralysis
Brown, Vet Surg, 2019:
Laryngeal function with propofol induction vs methohexital induction?
Effect of doxapram?
Disadvantages of methohexital?
Brown, Vet Surg, 2019:
Laryngeal function did not differ between propofol vs methohexital induction
Doxapram improved breathing scores
Methohexital provided shorter examination times and 25% of the dogs that received methohexital developed seizure-like activity
Ogden, JSAP, 2019:
Incidence of post-op aspiration pneumonia in dogs that did vs did not receive pre-operative cisapride?
Ogden, JSAP, 2019:
Incidence of post-op aspiration pneumonia was 2% amongst dogs that received pre-op cisapride vs 12% amongst dogs that did not receive pre-op cisapride
Suematsu, Vet Surg, 2019:
Continuous extraluminal tracheal prosthesis
Mortality rate?
What % of dogs developed post-op laryngeal paralysis?
What % of dogs had recurrent tracheal collapse?
What % of dogs developed tracheal necrosis?
Pre-op harsh cough resolved in what % of dogs?
Pre-op goose-honking cough resolved in what % of dogs?
Suematsu, Vet Surg, 2019:
2% mortality rate
2% developed post-op laryngeal paralysis
4% had recurrent tracheal collapse
0% developed tracheal necrosis
Pre-op harsh cough resolved in 87%
Pre-op goose-honking cough resolved in 96%
Weisse, JAVMA, 2019:
Endoluminal stenting
What % of dogs had improvement in goose-honking or raspy breathing?

Most common complications?
Weisse, JAVMA, 2019:
89% had improvement in goose-honking or raspy breathing
84% had improvement in dyspnea
47% major complication rate
Most common complications were stent fracture and tissue ingrowth
Violette, JVIM, 2019:
Endoluminal stenting
Most common major complications?
Violette, JVIM, 2019:
Most common complications were stent fracture (25%), obstructive tissue ingrowth (19%) and progressive tracheal collapse (12%)
