The dog had severe hyperlactemia. Ultrasonography revealed the presence of free fluid in the abdomen; the fluid appeared to be blood (determined via abdominocentesis).<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Treatment and Outcome<\/jats:bold>\u2014Urgent surgical exploration was undertaken. Two small lacerations in the ventral aspect of the abdominal aorta just dorsal to the bladder were identified and repaired. Multiple transfusions of packed RBCs (5 units) and fresh frozen plasma (3 units) were administered, and autotransfusion of blood (1.2 L) from the abdomen was performed. The dog recovered well from surgery and anesthesia, but developed signs of severe pain and swelling of both hind limbs, which were attributed to reperfusion injury following aortic occlusion during surgery. Treatment included administration of S-adenosylmethionine (23 mg\/kg [10.5 mg\/lb], PO, q 24 h) and analgesia; 5 days after surgery, the hind limb problems had resolved and treatments were discontinued.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Clinical Relevance<\/jats:bold>\u2014In the dog of this report, aortic laceration secondary to cystocentesis was successfully treated with a combination of surgery and massive transfusion; the development of reperfusion injury was an interesting and reversible complication of surgery. The possibility of damage to intra-abdominal structures should be investigated if a dog becomes acutely ill after cystocentesis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.235.3.288","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,8,3]],"date-time":"2009-08-03T13:43:26Z","timestamp":1249307006000},"page":"288-291","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Massive transfusion and surgical management of iatrogenic aortic laceration associated with cystocentesis in a dog"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"235","author":[{"given":"Gareth J.","family":"Buckley","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sevima A.","family":"Aktay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth A.","family":"Rozanski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Lumb & Jones' veterinary anesthesia and analgesia","first-page":"17","article-title":"Considerations for general anesthesia","author":"Muir","year":"2007"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"Small animal critical care medicine","first-page":"27","article-title":"Hypotension","author":"Simmons","year":"2009"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract","first-page":"353","article-title":"Cystocentesis diagnostic and therapeutic considerations","volume":"26","author":"Kruger","year":"1996"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"J Am Anim Hosp Assoc","first-page":"251","article-title":"Fatal hemothorax following management of an esophageal foreign body","volume":"39","author":"Cohn","year":"2003"},{"key":"ref5","series-title":"Vet Radiol Ultrasound","first-page":"214","article-title":"Fatal mediastinal hemorrhage in a dog","volume":"31","author":"Mason","year":"2005"},{"key":"ref6","series-title":"Ann Thorac Surg","first-page":"726","article-title":"Aortic injury in vehicular trauma","volume":"54","author":"Williams","year":"1994"},{"key":"ref7","series-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc","first-page":"1664","article-title":"Massive transfusion in dogs: 15 cases (1997\u20132001)","volume":"220","author":"Jutkowitz","year":"2002"},{"key":"ref8","series-title":"J Vet Emerg Crit Care","first-page":"231","article-title":"Ischemia-reperfusion injury: assessment and treatment part I","volume":"14","author":"McMichael","year":"2004"},{"key":"ref9","series-title":"J Vet Emerg Crit Care","first-page":"242","article-title":"Ischemia-reperfusion injury: assessment and treatment part II","volume":"14","author":"McMichael","year":"2004"},{"key":"ref10","series-title":"J Vet Emerg Crit Care","first-page":"137","article-title":"Use of intravenous lidocaine to prevent reperfusion injury and subsequent multiple organ dysfunction syndrome","volume":"13","author":"Cassutto","year":"2003"},{"key":"ref11","series-title":"Vet Ther","first-page":"474","article-title":"S-adenosylmethionine and cAMP confer differential cytoprotection against bile-induced apoptosis in canine renal tubular cells and primary rat hepatocytes","volume":"3","author":"Webster","year":"2002"},{"key":"ref12","series-title":"Clin Tech Small Anim Pract","first-page":"239","article-title":"Current concepts in the treatment of canine chronic hepatitis","volume":"18","author":"Honeckman","year":"2003"}],"container-title":["Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/avmajournals.avma.org\/view\/journals\/javma\/235\/3\/javma.235.3.288.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/avmajournals.avma.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/javma\/235\/3\/javma.235.3.288.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/avmajournals.avma.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/javma\/235\/3\/javma.235.3.288.xml","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,7]],"date-time":"2025-03-07T14:10:09Z","timestamp":1741356609000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/avmajournals.avma.org\/view\/journals\/javma\/235\/3\/javma.235.3.288.xml"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2009,8,1]]},"references-count":12,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2460\/javma.235.3.288","relation":{},"ISSN":["0003-1488"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0003-1488","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2009,8,1]]}}}
