| Popis: | Placement of an Amplatz Canine Duct Occluder (ACDO) is usually performed by fluoroscopy ( Nguyenba and Tobias, 2007 ). The latter technical approach presents limitations, mostly due to radiation exposure, making this practice dangerous for the patient and operators. In this study, we describe the successful placement of an Amplatz Canine Duct Occluder device by using transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) guidance, performed on an 11-month-old female mongrel dog with a grade VI/VI continuous heart murmur diagnosed with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). The TTE is useful in eliminating exposure to radiation and is more versatile than fluoroscopy in conveying real-time detailed information concerning the position of the ACDO. |
