Use of an Amplatz Canine Ductal Occluder (ACDO) device to close an acquired aortopulmonary fistula with a hybrid approach in a dog.
Journal of Veterinary Cardiology : the Official Journal of the European Society of Veterinary Cardiology 2016 December
A 2-year-old recently spayed female Rottweiler was referred as an emergency with cardiac tamponade and the presence of an anomalous retrograde flow in the pulmonary artery. Echocardiography and angiography demonstrated a left-to-right aortopulmonary fistula. Clinical history and data indicated a possible infectious aetiology. Antibiotics and heart failure medications were administered for 30 days before intervention. Initial attempt at insertion of an Amplatz occluder by means of a percutaneous catheterization technique was tried but a safe release of the device was judged to be not possible due to the angle and the fragile and irregular margins of the window. A decision was made to proceed with a hybrid technique combining thoracotomy and direct pulmonary artery catheterization. This hybrid approach was successful with resolution of congestive heart failure with only residual mild paraprosthetic leakage.
