The American, European and RCVS expert in veterinary cardiology, said: “Eastcott’s cardiology group prepared this keyhole surgical treatment to eliminate the compression of Stanley’s capillary, in order to enhance Stanley’s heart output and avoid him from establishing indications of liver blockage and cardiac arrest.
“For this to be done, Stanley’s heart was accessed utilizing specialized catheters and wires through the jugular vein in his neck, while the treatment was assisted by fluoroscopy.
“We released a stent which would raise the tumour up and open the capillary, from within the vessel itself.
“We are happy that the trans-atrial stent was effectively released and typical blood circulation was brought back.
