Hero of the Month - August
Meet Chino, our Hero of the Month. Chino was diagnosed with a heart murmur by our colleagues in Moy Veterinary Hospital in Ballina, Co Mayo.Chino then came to us for further investigations and it was found that he had a condition called Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA). Using our practices fluoroscopy unit, our team performed a procedure called a vascular occlusion. This minimally invasive procedure involves placing a catheter into the femoral artery in the hind leg. Through the catheter, a device called a vascular plug is passed up through Chino's aorta and into his heart.Chino made a smooth and rapid recovery from his anaesthetic and was soon looking for his dinner! The team at Nutgrove Veterinary Hospital would like to thank our colleagues in Moy Veterinary Hospital, Chino's owner Charlene, and Ann Masterson and her team in Abbott Laboratories.We wish Chino a long and healthy life. โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
