Atenuação de desvio portossistêmico extra-hepático em cão utilizando constritor ameroide e ligadura completa com fio não absorvível : relato de caso e revisão de literatura

Abstract

Portosystemic shunts are the most common vascular anomalies found in dogs and may be congenital or acquired, causing clinical signs related to hepatic encephalopathy, failure in body development and formation of uroliths, mainly affecting young animals, with the diagnosis being based on clinical signs and complementary exams, consisting mainly in imaging methods and serum biochemistry analyzes. The treatment may be medical or surgical, and this is the most indicated for the complete resolution of the condition, with a greater emphasis on techniques that completely occlude the deviation, with a rapid improvement of the clinical status, in a gradual and safe way for most patients. In this work, an extrahepatic deviation is reported in a German Spitz dog, attenuated by total ligation of the pancreaticoduodenal vein.
