Ten dogs had no prior history\nof <jats:italic>C immitis<\/jats:italic> infection, and 7 dogs had chronic infection\nwith <jats:italic>C immitis<\/jats:italic>. Having a chronic <jats:italic>C immitis<\/jats:italic> infection\nreduced the odds of survival, compared with no previous\ninfection. All dogs had clinical signs of right-sided\nheart failure. All dogs had serum titers (range, 1:8 to\n1:256) for antibodies against <jats:italic>C immitis<\/jats:italic> prior to surgery,\nand titers were not significantly associated with outcome.\nPredominant echocardiographic findings were\nthickened pericardium, reduced right ventricular filling,\nand pleural or pericardial effusion. All dogs underwent a\nsubtotal pericardectomy and epicardial excision and had\nfibrosing pyogranulomatous pericarditis in biopsy specimens\nobtained during surgery. The perioperative mortality\nrate was 23.5%, and the 2-year postdischarge survival\nrate was 82%.<\/jats:p>\n\t\t\t\t<jats:p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<jats:bold>Conclusions and Clinical Relevance<\/jats:bold>\u2014Surgical treatment\nvia subtotal pericardectomy and epicardial excision\nis successful at relieving right-sided heart failure\nin dogs with effusive-constrictive pericarditis secondary\nto <jats:italic>C immitis<\/jats:italic> infection, but long-term treatment\nwith antifungal agents may still be required.\n(<jats:italic>J Am Vet Med Assoc<\/jats:italic> 2005;227:435\u2013440)<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.2005.227.435","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,12,21]],"date-time":"2005-12-21T15:33:34Z","timestamp":1135179214000},"page":"435-440","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":48,"title":["Subtotal pericardectomy and epicardial excision for treatment of coccidioidomycosis-induced effusive-constrictive pericarditis in dogs: 17 cases (1999\u20132003)"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"227","author":[{"given":"Chris K.","family":"Heinritz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephen D.","family":"Gilson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark J.","family":"Soderstrom","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas A.","family":"Robertson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephanie C.","family":"Gorman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ray C.","family":"Boston","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"key":"p_1_343","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.2001.218.537"},{"key":"p_2_344","first-page":"196","volume":"128","author":"Reed RE","year":"1956","journal-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc"},{"key":"p_3_345","first-page":"546","volume":"184","author":"Thomas WP","year":"1984","journal-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc"},{"key":"p_4_346","first-page":"926","volume":"157","author":"Brodey RS","year":"1970","journal-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc"},{"key":"p_5_347","unstructured":"Rosner B.
