  • Title: Balloon-tipped catheter arterial occlusion for prevention of hemorrhage caused by guttural pouch mycosis: 13 cases (1982-1985).
    Author: Caron JP, Fretz PB, Bailey JV, Barber SM, Hurtig MB.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1987 Aug 01; 191(3):345-9. PubMed ID: 2958436.
    Abstract:
    Epistaxis, caused by guttural pouch mycosis, was treated by balloon-tipped catheter and ligature occlusion of the involved arteries in 13 horses. In 7 horses, more than one artery was catheterized. Serious postoperative hemorrhage was prevented in all horses. Long-term endoscopic follow-up examination was possible in 8 horses, and all had complete regression of the fungal lesion as early as 5 weeks after surgery. Six of the 8 horses did not receive medical treatment. Problems related to the use of the balloon-tipped catheter technique were rare. There were incisional infections in 3 horses, catheter breakage during removal occurred twice, and in one horse, a catheter was inappropriately placed.
