Vascular surgery of aortic thrombosis in a dog using Fogarty maneuver – technical feasibility

Abstract

Aortic thromboembolism is a rare and life‐threatening disease in dogs. This report aims to describe the successful surgical treatment by use of a Fogarty Thrombectomy Catheter in an 8‐year‐old patient. The postsurgical intensive care therapy to prevent ischemia‐reperfusion syndrome is specified, despite poor outcome in our case (owner elected euthanasia).
