Percutaneous transvenous coil embolization (PTCE) for treatment of single extrahepatic portosystemic shunt in dogs.

Background: There is limited information regarding percutaneous transvenous coil embolization (PTCE) for single extrahepatic portosystemic shunt (PSS). This study aimed to describe the procedure and outcome of PTCE in dogs with a single extrahepatic PSS. Forty-two privately owned dogs were included in this study.

Preemptively planned en bloc resection of an extensive right adrenal pheochromocytoma involving the right hepatic division, caval thrombus and segmental caudal vena cava in a dog with Budd-Chiari-like syndrome.

Background: Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for canine adrenal pheochromocytomas (PHEOs). Information on en bloc resection of adrenal PHEO with tumour thrombus, right hepatic division and segmental caudal vena cava (CVC) running through the adrenal tumour and right hepatic division is limited.

Objective: To describe the preemptively planned en bloc resection of an extensive right adrenal PHEO involving the right hepatic division, the caval thrombus and the segmental CVC in a dog with Budd-Chiari-like syndrome (BCLS).

Impact of near-infrared fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green on the surgical treatment of pulmonary masses in dogs.

Objectives: To investigate the intraoperative identification and complete resection of pulmonary masses, and to evaluate lymph node metastasis of pulmonary malignant tumors in dogs using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging.

Methods: Forty dogs with pulmonary masses were included, all of which underwent surgical treatment. ICG fluorescence imaging was performed on pulmonary masses before lobectomy and the resection margins after lobectomy.

Clinical impact of near-infrared fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green on surgical treatment for hepatic masses in dogs.

Background: Near-infrared fluorescence imaging using indocyanine green (ICG) is clinically applied to intraoperatively identify hepatic masses in humans. In addition, it is reported to be effective for assessing complete resection in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, there is limited information on ICG fluorescence imaging for canine HCC, and its clinical usefulness is still unclear.

Glucoregulatory factors in canine hepatocellular carcinoma and leiomyosarcoma with non-islet cell tumour hypoglycaemia.

Introduction: Hypoglycaemia caused by malignant tumours other than insulinoma is referred to as non-islet cell tumour hypoglycaemia (NICTH), which may be caused by hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and leiomyosarcoma (LMS) in veterinary medicine. However, the pathogenetic mechanism of NICTH remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the gene-expression levels of glucoregulatory factors in canine HCC and LMS accompanied by hypoglycaemia.

Perineal herniorrhaphy with pedunculated tunica vaginalis communis in dogs: Description of the technique and clinical case series.

Background: Perineal hernia (PH) in dogs is caused by the separation of the anal septal muscles and the displacement of pelvic/abdominal organs under the perineal skin. Reconstruction of the pelvic septum by surgical repositioning is the only curative treatment.

Objectives: To describe the procedure and outcomes of surgical repair using the pedunculated tunica vaginalis communis (TVC) for PH in dogs.

Quantitative analysis of contrast-enhanced ultrasound estimates intrahepatic portal vascularity in dogs with single extrahepatic portosystemic shunt.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical impact on quantitative analysis of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) on single extrahepatic portosystemic shunt (PSS) in dogs.

Animals: 21 client-owned dogs with single extrahepatic PSS and 5 healthy Beagles.

Procedures: In all dogs, CEUS was performed to calculate the rising time (RT), rising rate (RR), and portal vein-to-hepatic parenchyma transit time (ΔHP-PV) from the time-intensity curve obtained in the hepatic parenchyma and portal vein.

Clinical, diagnostic, and pathologic features and surgical outcomes of combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma in dogs: 14 cases (2009-2021).

Objective: To describe the clinical, diagnostic, and pathological features and postoperative prognosis of canine combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (cHCC-CCA).

Animals: 14 privately owned dogs that underwent surgical treatment.

Procedures: The medical records, including signalment, clinical signs, blood test, urine analysis, computed tomography (CT) findings, intraoperative findings, and pathological findings, were retrospectively reviewed in the dogs with cHCC-CCA.

Serum vascular endothelial growth factor in dogs with various proliferative diseases.

Angiogenesis plays an important role in the proliferation and metastasis mechanisms of malignant tumors. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a group of cytokines that contribute to angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. This study aimed to investigate the serum VEGF-A concentrations in dogs with various proliferative diseases.

Comparison of outcomes between medical and surgical treatment in dogs with prostatic adenocarcinoma: a retrospective study.

Background: Prostatic cancer is uncommon in dogs. Dogs with prostatic carcinoma have been reported to have a poor prognosis. Information regarding prognosis with various surgery options as well as prognosis with surgical vs.
