Transesophageal Echocardiography–Guided Dirofilaria immitis Extraction from the Right Atrium in a Dog

ABSTRACT: Graphical abstract Highlights • In Dirifilaria immitis infection, worms can migrate into the heart.• Clinical signs are caused by hemolysis and and obstruction of blood flow.• Transesophageal echocardiography guides removal of radiolucent foreign objects.• TEE findings assisted in the extraction of intracardiac heartworms from a dog.

Transesophageal Echocardiography Guided Partial Right Atrial Inflow Occlusion - A Case Study.

Project description:Deployment of stent-grafts and other endovascular devices is a common technique for various vascular repair procedures. Induced, transient, periods of hypotension are essential to the precise deployment of a device as this minimizes displacement that can result from high pressure aortic flow. Partial inflow occlusion of the right atrium is a reliable, precise, and safe method of achieving this. We present a case where intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was used to guide and confirm balloon placement for right atrium inflow occlusion during a thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) procedure for repair of an aortic dissection in a 67 year old male. This highlights a novel use of TEE in the context of endovascular surgery, and showcases an alternative method of reliably achieving transient hypotension.

Microfilaruria by <i>Dirofilaria immitis</i> in a dog: a rare clinical pathological finding.

Project description:A 6-year-old Labrador with history of hyperpnea, respiratory distress, ascites and paraparesis, presented Dirofilaria immitis microfilariae in the blood smear, cytology of the abdominal fluid and urine. The positive samples were confirmed by multiplex-PCR (COI gene) and sequencing, and presented 98% homology to D. immitis (GenBank accession nos. KC107805.1, EU159111.1, EU163945.1, DQ358815.1, and AJ537512-1). Based on the presented results and the physiopathology of the heartworm disease, molecular techniques may be helpful and accurate in the diagnosis of the disease in vertebrates, and microfilaruria, even uncommon, should be considered on a renal failure evaluation.
