Recently, a 4 year old Afghan hound was referred to our cardiology service because of severe breathing problems. After some diagnostics tests our cardiology team identified that the cause of the clinical signs were due to a severe, spontaneous pneumothorax. CT revealed a large pneumothorax, and a pulmonary bulla was identified in the right cranial lung lobe. The bulla was thought to be the cause of the pneumothorax and the dog was transferred to our soft tissue service. The images show the severe reduction of the lung lobe in the right thoracic cavity compared with the left. Although there was a low volume pneumothorax on the left side too. Surgery successfully occluded the leak and the dog recovered and was discharged home for TLC. Cases like this demonstrate why a multi-disciplinary hospital is of benefit to many animals. One condition might turn into something else and it is comforting to know that Chestergates offers a comprehensive service covering cardiology, internal medicine, orthopaedics, neurology, soft tissue, and ophthalmology. #veterinaryimaging #veterinarysurgery #cvsgroup #cvsreferrals

New research from CVS referral hospitals has identified a key factor to help vets in practice predict cats most at risk of biliary obstruction and therefore in need of emergency action. Total serum bilirubin concentration is a biochemical variable often reported on a blood test panel. It can provide information on several physiological functions and disease processes. Cats with hyperbilirubinaemia (high serum bilirubin concentration) often present with clinical icterus (jaundice) on clinical examination. There are many underlying causes for hyperbilirubinaemia, some more immediately critical than others. The new study demonstrated the level of hyperbilirubinaemia is important, and cats with a bilirubin concentration ≥66μmol/L are more likely to have biliary obstruction, which may require emergency surgery. Previous cut-offs have been based on expert opinion and higher than that identified in this new study, which could have resulted in some emergency cases being missed. This study recommends cats with bilirubin over this newly identified cut-off would be those most warranting further diagnostic imaging investigations, to rule out biliary duct obstruction.

Associate Professor Of Medicine at King Abdulaziz University. Advanced therapeutic endoscopist at King Abdulaziz University Hospital
This week, our team at KAUH leveraged the transformative power of cholangioscopy to successfully manage three complex cases: 1️⃣ #Pediatric cholangioscopy for biliary stones clearance. 2️⃣ Difficult Biliary Stones: Using laser lithotripsy, we successfully removed large and impacted #biliary #stones in a single session restoring bile flow and alleviating the patient's suffering. 3️⃣ Hilar #Cholangiocarcinoma: We performed direct tissue sampling using SpyMax forceps and selective cannulation of both right and left IHDs allowing for precise diagnosis and treatment planning of this complex malignancy. Such cases were difficult to manage using conventional ERCP alone. These cases used to be referred for percutaneous drainage. Each case presented unique challenges, but cholangioscopy enabled us to visualize and navigate the biliary system with unparalleled precision. The successful outcomes for these patients are a testament to the transformative capabilities of this innovative technology.

In a previous news article, we showcased Professor Paul Freeman's pioneering research on Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) in dogs. In our new article, we meet Frankie, a 2 year-old Dachshund diagnosed on MRI scan with a disc extrusion, causing severe compression of his spinal cord leading him to need surgery - essential in Frankie's case and when conservative management for IVDD isn’t an option. 🐾 Frankie’s case is a perfect example of how expert surgical intervention can make a life-changing difference for pets suffering from IVDD.
