Evaluation and establishment of a canine model of delayed splenic rupture using contrast-enhanced ultrasound
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of the present study was to establish a canine model of delayed splenic rupture (DSR). A total of 15 mongrel dogs were anesthetized and laparotomized. The hematomas were observed following an injection of heparin. The hematomas were ruptured. The severity of the spleen rupture was evaluated and the intra-abdominal free liquid was measured. The splenic hematomas in the dogs continued to form and the hematoma area gradually increased. The hematomas were ruptured after impacting the abdominal wall. The spleens were damaged, and conventional ultrasonography showed intra-abdominal free liquid. These conditions were demonstrated via computed tomography scanning. A DSR canine model was established successfully.

Precocious Diagnosis of Traumatic Splenic Rupture by Selective Coeliac Angiography
Splenic arteriography allows the organ to be clearly demonstrated and the condition of the parenchyrna to be assessed. The methode allows traumatic lesions to be easily diagnosed. The most common reliable signs are escape of contrast medium from the torn spenic arteries and lacunar appearance in the parenchyma. Other signs, such as early venous filling or antero-posterior and median displacemen...

Background: Splenic infarction (SI) is a rare clinical entity seldom encountered in veterinary medicine. Its most frequent causes include thromboembolic status, splenomegaly, and cardiac disease. Although thrombotic elements from the circulation provide the most common context for thromboembolic SIs, immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) has not been reported as an underlying...

متن کاملContrast-enhanced ultrasound for the evaluation of neovascularization in atherosclerotic carotid artery plaques.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Neovascularization associated with plaque vulnerability, particularly in the plaque shoulder, is susceptible to rupture, causing ischemic events. We aimed to use contrast-enhanced ultrasound to evaluate neovessels in carotid plaques quantitatively, focusing on plaque shoulders. METHODS Using contrast-enhanced ultrasound with perflubutane, we analyzed 50 consecutive pati...
