Abstract

Tracheal collapse is a common respiratory disease in dogs. There are many ways to treat tracheal collapse, one of which is the use of an intraluminal stent. In this study, we divided 21 dogs into two groups and implant conventional stents and new nitinol stents. Comparison of two groups was based on following, feature of stent fracture, form of stent migration, clinical sign improvement, complication and prognosis. Approaching was established via C-arm under spontaneous breathing and placing a stent at the site of collapse. Using radiographic images, determine stent size accurately. For a comparison of identical condition, all intraluminal stents were placed 10 mm caudal from larynx to 10 mm cranial from carina. In this study, new nitinol stents improve the problems of conventional stents and may be effective in the treatment of tracheal collapse in small dogs.
