Abstract

|
A 4-year-old intact male Shih Tzu dog (5.4 kg of body weight) was referred with primary complaints of heart murmur and exercise intolerance. Diagnostic studies found severe valvular pulmonic stenosis (peak velocity of 6.4 m/s, pressure gradient 165 mmHg). The dog was treated with 3 cm (length) 1.5 cm (diameter) of Palmaz biliary stent. The outcome of stent placement was favorable and remarkably reduced the severity of PS (6.4 m/s to 3.0 m/s of peak velocity). Clinical condition was remarkably improved with the absence of cardiac murmur, although mild pulmonic regurgitation existed from the day of stent placement. To our best knowledge, this case is the first clinical trial for treating PS with intravascular stent in Korea.
