Abstract

A 4-year-old intact male Shih Tzu dog (5.4 kg of body weight) was referred with primary complaints of heart murmur and exercise intolerance. Diagnostic studies found severe valvular pulmonic stenosis (peak velocity of 6.4 m/s, pressure gradient 165 mmHg). The dog was treated with 3 cm (length) ${\times}$ 1.5 cm (diameter) of Palmaz biliary stent. The outcome of stent placement was favorable and remarkably reduced the severity of PS (6.4 m/s to 3.0 m/s of peak velocity). Clinical condition was remarkably improved with the absence of cardiac murmur, although mild pulmonic regurgitation existed from the day of stent placement. To our best knowledge, this case is the first clinical trial for treating PS with intravascular stent in Korea.

4 년령 시쭈개 (체중 5.4 kg)가 심잡음과 운동불내성으로 내원하였다. 진단검사상 심한 폐동맥협착증으로 진단되었다 (우심실 유출로의 peak velocity of 6.4 m/s, 압력구배 165 mmHg). 본 환견은 3 cm (길이) ${\times}$ 1.5 cm (직경)의 Palmaz biliary stent를 이용하여 치료하였다. 시술후 환견의 폐동맥 협착증은 상당히 많이 개선되었다 (우심실 유출로의 of peak velocity가 3.0 m/s로 감소). 내원전 보였던 임상증상은 더 이상 보이지 않았지만 경미한 폐동맥 패쇄부전이 관찰되었다. 본 증례는 우리나라에서 최초로 시도된 스텐트를 이용한 폐동맥 협착증 증례이다.
