Meet Jazz! 💙🐾

We recently saw the lovely Jazz to investigate his heart murmur, and his owners kindly left us some lovely feedback about their experience with us.

They were particularly pleased with how gently and carefully we performed Jazz’s heart scan, helping to make the experience as calm and stress-free as possible.

We always encourage owners to stay with their pets during their heart scan. Being together can help both pets and their owners feel more comfortable, and we use gentle handling and positive reinforcement throughout.

We’re delighted to hear that Jazz is doing well at home and that we could support both him and his owners 💙

Procedure close up: PDA closure 💙🩺

A patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a congenital heart condition where a connection that should close shortly after birth remains open. Many patients with PDA show no clinical signs other than a loud heart murmur, but if left untreated, it can lead to heart enlargement and eventually heart failure.

One of the most common ways we treat a PDA is by placing a small device called an Amplatz Canine Duct Occluder (ACDO). The device is delivered through an artery in the back leg using a catheter and positioned within the PDA to seal the abnormal opening.

🎥 Video: Watch as the ACDO is deployed. As the device opens, it seals the PDA and stops the abnormal blood flow.

Interventional procedures like this can be life-changing, allowing many dogs to go on to live long, happy and healthy lives.

Double the Cavaliers, double the cuteness! 💙🐾

We loved seeing the adorable pair of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels for their recheck following their PDA interventional procedures. It was wonderful to see them both doing so well!

📚 CPD!

Some of our nursing team recently attended the Linnaeus Cardiology Symposium for a day of continued professional development (CPD).

They thoroughly enjoyed the lectures and learning throughout the day and have been able to bring that knowledge back into practice to support our patients.

Swipe through to see a few snapshots from the day! 💙🐾

Did you know a minimally invasive procedure can help some dogs born with pulmonic stenosis? 💙🐾

Pulmonic stenosis is a congenital heart condition where the pulmonic valve is abnormally narrowed.

This narrowing partially obstructs blood flow leaving the heart, meaning the right side of the heart has to work much harder to pump blood. Over time, this can lead to exercise intolerance, weakness, collapsing episodes and, in some cases, heart failure.

A stent valvuloplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that can help relieve this obstruction. During the procedure, a balloon-tipped catheter is passed through a vein in the neck and guided to the narrowed valve. A stent (a small metal mesh tube) is then placed to help keep the narrowed area open. See the photo of a stent in place!

By widening the obstruction, blood can flow more easily from the heart, reducing strain on the right side of the heart and improving heart function and quality of life.

For more information and images of this procedure, visit our websites interventional cardiology page.

If your pet has been diagnosed with pulmonic stenosis and you'd like to learn more about treatment options, please speak to your primary vets or get in touch with our team. We're happy to answer any questions in the comments below 💬
