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.
