Cardiac Surgery in Small Animals
Surgery of the heart and great vessels can be daunting. The success of an operation can often hinge on the surgeon’s understanding of cardiovascular anatomy and physiology, imaging interpretation, pre-procedural planning, and clear communication. This webinar presents discussion of surgical ligation of patent ductus arteriosus, the use of inflow occlusion for intracardiac procedures, and the emergence of hybrid cardiac surgery.
Agenda
Brian J. Sutherland, DVM, DACVS (Small Animal), will facilitate the following presentations:
- E. Christopher Orton, DVM, PhD, DACVS: Tips and Tricks for Successful PDA Ligation
- Brian J. Sutherland, DVM, DACVS (Small Animal): Beating Heart Surgery and Inflow Occlusion for Intracardiac Surgery
- E. Christopher Orton, DVM, PhD, DACVS: Techniques in Hybrid Cardiac Surgery

He is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Surgeons. Dr. Orton established the clinical cardiology service at Colorado State University and began a heart surgery program for small animals in 1991. This program is credited with firsts in canine open-heart surgery and is recognized as a leading center for small animal cardiac surgery and interventions. Dr. Orton’s current research interests are in the areas of pathobiology of valvular heart disease and development of interventions for valvular heart disease.
