Abstract
Two dogs with haematuria and frequent urination were referred to our veterinary hospital. They were diagnosed with lower urinary tract carcinoma based on urine cytology and BRAF mutation testing. Transarterial embolisation was performed because of persistent haematuria. This procedure involved super-selective catheterisation and embolisation of the tumour-feeding arteries using gelatine sponge particles, achieving near stasis. After transarterial embolisation, both patients showed resolution of haematuria within 4 days and a marked reduction in tumour volume after 1 month. However, both patients experienced recurrence of haematuria 4 to 6 weeks after the procedure, leading to a second embolisation being performed for each. Following the second embolisation, the haematuria resolved again. Transarterial embolisation could provide benefits for managing persistent haematuria and provides local tumour control in dogs with lower urinary tract carcinoma.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Small Animal Practice (JSAP) is a monthly peer-reviewed publication integrating clinical research papers and case reports from international sources, covering all aspects of medicine and surgery relating to dogs, cats and other small animals. These papers facilitate the dissemination and implementation of new ideas and techniques relating to clinical veterinary practice, with the ultimate aim of promoting best practice. JSAP publishes high quality original articles, as well as other scientific and educational information. New developments are placed in perspective, encompassing new concepts and peer commentary. The target audience is veterinarians primarily engaged in the practise of small animal medicine and surgery.
In addition to original articles, JSAP will publish invited editorials (relating to a manuscript in the same issue or a topic of current interest), review articles, which provide in-depth discussion of important clinical issues, and other scientific and educational information from around the world.
The final decision on publication of a manuscript rests with the Editorial Board and ultimately with the Editor. All papers, regardless of type, represent the opinion of the authors and not necessarily that of the Editor, the Association or the Publisher.
The Journal of Small Animal Practice is published on behalf of the British Small Animal Veterinary Association and is also the official scientific journal of the World Small Animal Veterinary Association
