Prognosis for dogs with severe mitral regurgitation is poor with medical therapy alone. Open surgical mitral valve repair consisting of circumferential mitral annuloplasty and artificial chordal replacement confers durability and improved long-term clinical outcome without a need for long-term antithrombotic therapies. This approach has been successfully used in canine patients, including small-breed dogs. Methods for mitral valve repair applicable to small dogs are described.
仅采用药物治疗时,患有严重二尖瓣反流的犬预后较差。开放性外科二尖瓣修复术,包括二尖瓣环周成形术和人工腱索置换,具有持久性并能改善长期临床结果,且无需长期抗血栓治疗。这种方法已成功应用于犬类患者,包括小型犬。本文描述了适用于小型犬的二尖瓣修复方法。
