This case report describes a rare disorder of a left pulmonary artery interruption with concurrent coarctation of the right pulmonary artery in a dog. A 5-year-old, male neutered, mixed-breed dog presented for evaluation of an asymptomatic heart murmur. Echocardiography and computed tomography revealed complete interruption of the proximal left pulmonary artery and coarctation of the right pulmonary artery. Collateral circulation to the left lung field was provided by a dilated bronchoesophageal artery with evidence of left pulmonary hypoplasia. Pulmonary artery interruption and coarctation is rarely reported in the veterinary literature.
本病例报告描述了一只犬左肺动脉中断伴右肺动脉狭窄的罕见疾病。一只 5 岁、雄性、已去势的混种犬因无症状性心杂音就诊。超声心动图和计算机断层扫描显示左肺动脉近端完全中断,右肺动脉狭窄。扩张的支气管食管动脉为左肺野提供侧支循环,并有左肺发育不全的证据。肺动脉中断伴狭窄在兽医文献中很少报道。
