ABSTRACT
Twenty-seven cases of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in the dog, which were confirmed by cardiac catheterization, surgical exploration, or at necropsy, were reviewed. A machinery murmur, electrocardiographic evidence of left ventricular enlargement, and radiographic evidence of cardiomegaly with an aortic and a pulmonary artery dilatation were consistent features. Surgical repair was successful in 65% of the dogs. The postoperative radiographic and electrocardiographic changes are described. A concomitant congenital defect was present in 2 dogs. The epidemiologic features of 532 dogs identified as having PDA and submitted to the National Cancer Institute's Veterinary Medical Data Program were reviewed. Miniature and Toy Poodles, Pomeranians, and Shetland Sheepdogs were identified as being at high risk for PDA. An excess of females over males was noticed.
