Another foray into the Land of Surgery for team JSVC, this time for the feline with the floofiest tale ever, Radar 😻

Radar is an unusual case as she has been diagnosed with a double-chambered right ventricle 😳

This means that one of the bottom chambers of her heart (the right ventricle) that pumps de-oxygenated blood to the lungs has an extra membrane creating a double chamber within where there should only be one. This can create problems due to the impedance of blood flow through the ventricle.

Radar's owner opted to try a minimally invasive procedure using a balloon catheter to try and open up the membrane creating the double chamber. This is not a common procedure and has mixed results, but Radar's owner wanted to try and see if we could make a difference ❤

The balloon procedure was performed at our hospital near Holmes Chapel by super surgeon Mike, assisted by Emily, and all under the watchful eye of anaesthetist Miguel 🤓

You can see the "waist" of the balloon as it sits within the double chamber in the picture and then the video shows you the balloon inflation to try and widen the narrowing.

Results of the procedure will be ascertained over time as Radar recovers 🥰

The team recently enjoyed a visit by not-so-much-puppy Puppy! ❤

Lovely Puppy is a total gentle giant, being crossed with a Wolfhound, and we couldn't have asked for a better behaved patient 🥰

Puppy came to see the team to investigate a fast heart rate identified at home along with some uncharacteristic lethargy. We didn't see any structural abnormalities on Puppy's heart scan, so a 24 hour ECG (Holter) monitor was fitted to ascertain the extent of Puppy's arrhythmia.

Holter monitors are an invaluable tool in cases like Puppy to be able to gain an understanding of what is happening when patients are at home and not just in the clinic and we can fit them to all sizes of patient from Puppy to kitten 😆🐕🐈‍⬛

Introducing cute as a button Pancake 😍

Pancake was diagnosed with a PDA (patent ductus arteriosus) which is a blood vessel within the heart that should've closed at birth. When this vessel remains open it shunts blood around the heart rather than letting it leave and go around the body and this can end in congestive heart failure at a young age.

Pancake's owners opted for a minimally invasive surgical technique to close the PDA and this was performed successfully at our hospital near Holmes Chapel by super surgeon Mike, assisted by Laura. You can see in the video clip the contrast media butting against the implanted device within the PDA, showing no leakage through the PDA at all. A complete closure! 🙌

Pancake has made a brilliant recovery after her procedure and is back to being her mischievous self ❤

Introducing our patient, Harley, who does a spectacular job in demonstrating a Holter monitor for you 😍

Harley has some structural heart disease with a stage B2 mitral valve disease but he also has ventricular arrhythmias. This means that his normal heart rhythm is disturbed by beats originating from the bottom chambers of his heart (the ventricles) rather than following the normal conduction pathway from the top chambers (the atria) through to the ventricles.

Left untreated this could cause Harley to go into heart failure prematurely by adding to the workload his heart works under and leaving him at risk of his heart muscle not having enough oxygen.

The Holter monitor is a small device that Harley wears under a cotton jacket to record his heart rhythm at home and whilst he goes about his usual activities. This is invaluable information as it shows Harley's true situation out of the clinic and we can record for up to 3 days.

Wonderfully for Harley his Holter monitor showed that the treatment regime we have him on is doing a good job at controlling his arrhythmia 🙌

We will see Harley regularly to make sure his medications continue to do their job ❤

Last week our Senior Cardiology nurse, Liza, travelled to Birmingham to attend live Congress and deliver a session entitled "Anaesthesia Complications - troubleshooting the 3H's" 🙌

Liza is lucky enough to have two passions within veterinary medicine, one for cardiology and one for anaesthesia 🥰 She is always delighted at speaking invitations and has lectured for various providers including the BVNA, the College of Animal Welfare and The Webinar Vet. She always brings back some great new information from the lectures she attends and lots of goodies in the pen/teddy/samples area 😁

Liza is available through JSVC to provide bespoke practice CPD sessions and assist with anaesthesia monitoring. Get in touch if you would like her to come to you within the Northwest area!
