“…Several case reports have documented PH in cats with PTE, although some of these include patients with more than one disease process, which could have resulted in PH. 13,67,83–85 In the case reported by Baron Toaldo et al, 13 the cat received a single dose of carboplatin prior to developing PTE and PH; in this case, it is not known if the PH developed as a result of the chemotherapeutic agent or the PTE. In the case reported by Valente et al, 67 the cat presented with interstitial pneumonia, as well as coarctation of the pulmonary artery, with severe thrombosis and mid-intimal hypertrophy.…”

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a potential complication in many disease states, yet it has been largely overlooked in feline medicine. Recently, increased awareness of potential underlying causes has led to a wider understanding of the disease process in humans, with a focus on tailoring therapy to include specific treatment of the underlying etiology. Most of these treatments are not yet available in veterinary medicine, but as they move from the human to the veterinary field, it would be beneficial to better understand the forms of PH encountered in different species. Recently, diagnosis and classification of PH in dogs has been the focus of an American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine consensus statement, yet this condition has received little attention in cats. It is therefore our intention to raise awareness of this condition in cats and to propose a classification system for the types of PH seen in feline patients. As new medications are developed for the treatment of PH, it is important to recognize which forms of PH are seen in feline patients and understand the etiology of the disease. There are many reports of PH (or suspected PH based on echocardiographic assessment) in cats. In this review, we highlight the large number of conditions, and different etiologies, that are associated with PH. Improving understanding of this condition will bring us closer to being able to investigate the benefits of potential new diagnostics and therapies as they become available.

“…Feline aortic thromboembolism is a cardiovascular disease that mainly affects the feline species, being a painful episode characterized by acute ischemic necrosis of one or both pelvic limbs, which can cause the patient's death (GIL-ORTUÑO et al, 2020). Among the most common causes that generate this type of episode are cardiomyopathies (PETRUSHKO; GRUSHANSKA, 2023), hyperthyroidism (SUTTON; LONG MAYS; MCLAUGHLIN, 2022), nephropathy (GARDINER, 2020) and neoplasms (GUARINO et al, 2021).…”

Feline aortic thromboembolism is a cardiovascular disease that affects the feline species, with acute paralysis being one of the forms of clinical presentation. The objective of this clinical case is to describe the clinical and therapeutic management of a cat with acute paralysis due to aortic thromboembolism. A general physical examination and complementary tests were performed to diagnose aortic thromboembolism and subsequent pharmacological treatment associated with the surgical intervention. It is concluded that it is possible to reverse acute paralysis due to thromboembolism through definitive diagnosis and initiation of thrombolytic treatment associated with the surgical procedure.
