Evaluation of hepatic tumor portal perfusion using mesenteric angiography: A pilot study in 5 dogs.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mesenteric angiography is a sensitive method for visualizing portal perfusion in the dog.

Objectives

To evaluate hepatic portal perfusion in dogs with incompletely resectable hepatic tumors using mesenteric angiography.

Animals

Five client-owned dogs with incompletely resectable hepatic tumors evaluated with mesenteric angiography.

Methods

Retrospective case series. Electronic medical records at the Animal Medical Center were analyzed to identify dogs that underwent mesenteric portography to determine blood flow to nonresectable hepatic tumors and subsequently determine ideal routes for transarterial embolization, vascular stent placement, or both. The images obtained from mesenteric angiography were analyzed and compared to those obtained from compu
