Abstract

A 3-year-old chow chow dog with abdominal distention was referred to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Chungnam National University. The dog was diagnosed as Cor triatriatum dexter based on echocardiographic results, which demonstrated an abnormal membrane partitioning the right atrium. Echocardiography also revealed turbulent intra-atrial blood flow between the two chambers of the atrium. The dog was treated with balloon dilatation to enlarge the perforation in the abnormal membrane and to improve blood flow. As a result, although the membrane remained, increased perforation reduced the turbulent intra-atrial blood flow. Clinically the patient improved and eventually was discharged. This case is the first domestic Korean clinical veterinary report on the use of balloon valvuloplasty to treat Cor triatriatum dexter in a dog.
