Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Balloon valvuloplasty has become the accepted method of therapy for the majority of dogs with valvular pulmonic stenosis. Success rate of balloon valvuloplasty is excellent but the procedure can have a steep learning curve. An understanding of the equipment used and specifics of the procedure is important to maximize success and minimize risk. This paper will review criteria for choosing candidates for balloon valvuloplasty, discuss the equipment used, discuss the procedure in detail, and finally discuss assessment of success and possible complications. |
