A 7-year-old French bulldog was presented for evaluation of cardiac neoplasia. Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography revealed a mass on the base of the heart, compressing the right pulmonary artery. Computed tomography exam confirmed that a surgical approach to remove the mass would not be viable. Stent placement in the right pulmonary artery was performed to relieve external compression caused by the neoplasia. When surgery is not feasible, pulmonary artery stenting could be one aspect of a multidisciplinary approach to palliative management of heart base neoplasia.
一只 7 岁的法国斗牛犬因心脏肿瘤接受评估。二维经胸超声心动图显示心脏底部有一个肿块，压迫右肺动脉。计算机断层扫描检查证实，手术切除肿块不可行。在右肺动脉内放置支架以缓解肿瘤引起的外压。当手术不可行时，肺动脉支架置入术可能是心脏底部肿瘤姑息性多学科治疗方法的一个方面。
