In this third and final segment of our program on degenerative mitral valve disease in dogs, we turn our focus to non-medical therapies for treating affected dogs. 

Our presenters create an understanding of the utility of left atrial decompression (LAD) and transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) in managing affected dogs and factors that influence patient selection for these procedures. We then discuss the option of open-heart surgery and patient selection for open-heart mitral valve repair.

Running time: 1 hr 20 mins
Approved for 1.25 hrs of CE credit by AAVSB RACE and NY State
