Myelopathy secondary to aortocaval fistula in a cat.
A 15-month-old neutered male cat was presented for progressive paraparesis of 3 months' duration and suspected cardiomegaly. Neuroanatomical localization was a T3-L3 myelopathy. On abdominal ultrasound, an anomalous vessel with turbulent blood flow was identified arising from the caudal vena cava. Myelography showed a bilateral ventrolateral extradural spinal cord compression from T12 to L4. No...
متن کاملAortocaval Fistula in Rat: A Unique Model of Volume-Overload Congestive Heart Failure and Cardiac Hypertrophy
Despite continuous progress in our understanding of the pathogenesis of congestive heart failure (CHF) and its management, mortality remains high. Therefore, development of reliable experimental models of CHF and cardiac hypertrophy is essential to better understand disease progression and allow new therapy development. The aortocaval fistula (ACF) model, first described in dogs almost a centur...
متن کاملAortocaval Fistula
A 77-year-old Caucasian male with a history of hypertension presented with sudden onset of lower back pain, nausea, and vomiting. Initial vital signs included a pulse rate of 104 beats/minute, a blood pressure of 117/72 mm Hg, and pulse oximetry of 95% on room air. Abdominal examination revealed a midline pulsatile mass and bruit. The patient had bilateral lower extremity edema, which was worse...
متن کاملAggravated Cardiac Remodeling post Aortocaval Fistula in Unilateral Nephrectomized Rats.
BACKGROUND Aortocaval fistula (AV) in rat is a unique model of volume-overload congestive heart failure and cardiac hypertrophy. Living donor kidney transplantation is regarded as beneficial to allograft recipients and not particularly detrimental to the donors. Impact of AV on animals with mild renal dysfunction is not fully understood. In this study, we explored the effects of AV in unilatera...
متن کاملMethotrexate toxicity treated with continuous venovenous hemofiltration, leucovorin and glucarpidase
High-dose methotrexate (MTX) can produce acute kidney injury, impairing MTX elimination. Continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) may enhance elimination in this setting, although its use is largely unstudied. A 79-year-old man received IV MTX for central nervous system lymphoma, and over a 34-h period his serum creatinine increased from 1.09 to 2.24 mg/dL. His serum MTX concentration (sMTX)...
