  • Title: Gastric dilatation-volvulus as complication after surgical removal of a splenic haemangiosarcoma in a dog.
    Author: Marconato L.
    Journal: J Vet Med A Physiol Pathol Clin Med; 2006 Sep; 53(7):371-4. PubMed ID: 16922836.
    Abstract:
    An 8-year-old crossbreed dog presented after one episode of acute collapse due to rupture of a splenic haemangiosarcoma. Following splenectomy the dog recovered well. Two days after discharge the dog re-presented because of gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV) that eventually led to his death. Splenectomy to remove a voluminous splenic tumour may predispose to GDV and dogs may benefit from concurrent prophylactic gastropexy.
