Abstrakt: | Acquired pulmonary artery branch stenosis without main pulmonary artery involvement due to external compression by neoplasia has been described in human and veterinary medicine. Over time, this can result in right ventricular hypertension and right-sided heart failure. Endovascular stenting offers quick relief from signs, while the underlying cause is addressed. Here, we present a dog with severe right pulmonary artery compression caused by a chemodectoma, which was treated with two, overlapping, self-expanding vascular stents and chemotherapy. The patient experienced immediate symptomatic relief, progressive stent expansion over time, and has been free of clinical symptoms for 5 months post implantation. Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.
