Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction was diagnosed by Doppler echocardiography in a young dog with a cardiac murmur, severe dyspnea, and a prominent sternal depression. Thoracic radiography confirmed a diagnosis of pectus excavatum involving the caudal third of the sternum. The right ventricular outflow obstruction was attributed to cardiac compression from the dorsally deviated sternum. External surgical splinting of the sternabrae, demonstrated by video in this report, was used to treat the pectus excavatum. Radiographic and Doppler echocardiographic examination 3 weeks and 4 months post-splinting documented resolution of both pectus excavatum and right ventricular outflow obstruction.
通过多普勒超声心动图诊断出一只患有心脏杂音、严重呼吸困难和明显胸骨凹陷的幼犬存在右心室流出道梗阻。胸部X光检查证实诊断为涉及胸骨尾三分之一的漏斗胸。右心室流出道梗阻归因于背侧偏斜的胸骨对心脏的压迫。本报告通过视频展示了对胸骨节进行外部手术夹板固定，用于治疗漏斗胸。夹板固定后3周和4个月的X光和多普勒超声心动图检查记录了漏斗胸和右心室流出道梗阻均已缓解。
