Computed tomographic angiography confirmed the finding, with no evidence of other relevant concurrent abnormalities. Balloon valvulopl ...

Abstract:: ... Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) with unusual morphology was diagnosed in a 3-year-old German shepherd presented for exercise intolerance. Two interventional PDA closure procedures with various Amplatzer devices and one surgical ligation were attempted to close the PDA. However, PDA closure failed with both methods due to the unusual morphology and the severe enlarged ductus ampulla. Therefore, the ...
