Echocardiographic diagnosis and surgical correction ofaortopulmonary window in a Belgian Shepherd Dog (Malinois)

Year 2015, Volume: 62 Issue: 1, 75 - 80, 01.03.2015

Abstract

A 20-month-old, female Belgian Malinois Dog was referred for evaluation on exercise intolerance. A high-grade machinery murmur, tachycardia, and cardiomegaly were observed. An aortopulmonary window was diagnosed by a color-Doppler echocardiography showing a turbulent blood flow shunting from the proximal part of ascendance aorta to the main pulmonary artery. This cardiac anomaly was corrected by surgery. Dog was treated by furosemide, pimobendan, and enalapril during post-operative 7 days. 1-year after the surgery, life quality of the patient was perfectly good. This is the first report of this rare congenital heart disease and its successful outcome of surgically correction in Belgian Malinois Dogs

Abstract

20 aylık, dişi Belçika Malinois köpek egzersiz intoleransın değerlendirilmesi için sunulmuştur. İleri derece mekanik bir üfürüm, taşikardi ve kardiyomegali belirlendi. Renkli Doppler ekokardiografi ile asendens aortanın proksimal kısmı ile ana pulmoner arter arasında turbulent akım belirlenmesi ile aortopulmoner window tanısı konmuştur. Kardiyak anomali cerrahi olarak düzeltildi. Post-operatif 7 gün boyunca köpek furosemid, pimobendan ve enalapril ile tedavi edildi. Operasyondan 1 yıl sonra hastanın yaşam kalitesi çok iyiydi. Bu rapor Belçika Malinois köpeklerindeki nadir görülen kongenital kalp defektinin ve cerrahi düzeltmenin başarılı sonucunun ilk sunumudur
