Case Report

Incomplete Atrioventricular Canal Complicated by Cardiac Tamponade and Bidirectional Shunting in an Adult Dog

Dan G. Ohad, DVM, PhD, Diplomate ACVIM (Cardiology), Shahar Baruch, DVM and Samuel Perl, DVM

From the Department of Clinical Sciences (Ohad, Baruch), The Koret School of Veterinary Medicine, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, P.O. Box 12, Rehovot, 76100, Israel and The Division of Pathology (Perl), The Kimron Veterinary Institute (KVI), P.O. Box 12, Beit Dagan, 50250, Israel.

An incomplete atrioventricular (AV) canal with bidirectional shunting and cardiac tamponade in a 6-year-old dog was initially diagnosed echocardiographically as a common atrium. The dog failed to respond to medical therapy and was euthanized. Upon necropsy, the defect was confirmed as an incomplete AV canal. A mechanism for the potential sequence of clinical events demonstrated in this dog is proposed.
