Summary
Based on available evidence, the embolisation methods guided by fluoroscopy (nitinol plugs and transarterial coil embolisation) are preferred when available to occlude the bleeding artery in horses with guttural pouch mycosis. All attempts should be made to submit suitable candidates to hospitals with the necessary equipment and expertise for these procedures. However, when this opportunity is not available, the nondetachable balloon catheter could still offer a viable and effective alternative. Although the risk of surgical site infection is a delayed complication of this method, risk of infection can be reduced by planned removal at 10–14 days after catheter placement.
