Abstract:
Pulmonic stenosis (PS) is one of the three most common congenital heart defects in dogs. Pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty (PBV) is the treatment of choice for valvular PS as in humans as in dogs. It is recommended that dogs with severe PS (Doppler gradient (DG) > 80 mmHg) should be treated, but no guidelines have been published for moderate PS (DG 50-80 mmHg). Few studies compared the survival in dogs undergoing the PBV with those that did not (NPBV), mostly including dogs with severe PS.
The aim of this retrospective study was to document the effects of PBV on survival in a larger population of dogs than previously published affected by moderate and
severe PS and compare survival times in dogs that undergoing PBV with NPBV.
