Two unusual cases of heartworm infection are described, including one of spontaneous rupture of cardiac chambers, most likely due to the progressive increase in pressure within the right ventricle caused by Dirofilaria immitis infection. Another case report describes persistent left cranial vena cava, which interfered with the surgical removal of heartworm via the left jugular vein.
描述了两例罕见的心丝虫感染病例，其中一例为心腔自发性破裂，很可能是由犬恶丝虫感染导致右心室内压力逐渐升高所致。另一例病例报告描述了持续存在的左头臂静脉，这妨碍了通过左颈静脉手术摘除心丝虫。
