Biopsy of an intracardiac paraganglioma in a dog using a fluoroscopically guided endovascular technique

Abstract: A 10-year-old female spayed mixed breed dog was evaluated for diarrhea and vomiting. Diagnostic imaging demonstrated the presence of an intracardiac mass. A modified Seldinger technique was used to access the right jugular vein, and an endomyocardial biopsy forceps was introduced through a sheath to obtain several biopsies. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry demonstrated a paraganglioma. The dog underwent 1 fraction of radiotherapy and L-asparaginase chemotherapy and was discharged. The dog developed a pu… Show more

“…1,2 However, in cats, a definitive diagnosis is usually only obtained on post-mortem histopathology as feline jugulars cannot often support introducer catheters for endovascular biopsies, and due to the  of  suspected inherent risks of trans-thoracic/abdominal biopsies, these tests are rarely performed. 11,[25][26][27] However, a recent case report in which 25 gauge fine needle aspirates were performed on feline myocardium during pericardiectomy did not report any significant bleeding or arrythmias, suggesting this procedure maybe less high risk than originally suspected. 11 Further confounding factors also arise from distinguishing neoplastic cardiac infiltrate from other forms of transient myocardial thickening (TMT).…”
