Two control dogs were matched with respect to age, body weight, sex, neuter status, and breed to each dog with GDV. Data were collected on the presence or absence of the spleen for both dogs with GDV and control dogs.

Prophylactic gastropexy may be considered in dogs undergoing a splenectomy, particularly if other risk factors for GDV are present.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.242.10.1381","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,5,1]],"date-time":"2013-05-01T18:27:56Z","timestamp":1367432876000},"page":"1381-1384","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Association between previous splenectomy and gastric dilatation-volvulus in dogs: 453 cases (2004\u20132009)"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"242","author":[{"given":"Angela J.","family":"Sartor","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adrienne M.","family":"Bentley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dorothy C.","family":"Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Pathogenesis of acute canine gastric dilatation-volvulus syndrome: is there a unifying hypothesis?","first-page":"1108","volume":"22","author":"Brockman","year":"2000"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"Analysis of risk factors for gastric dilatation and gastric dilatation-volvulus in dogs","first-page":"1465","volume":"204","author":"Glickman","year":"1994"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"Canine gastric dilatation\/volvulus syndrome in a veterinary critical care unit: 295 cases (1986\u20131992)","first-page":"460","volume":"207","author":"Brockman","year":"1995"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"Influence of thoracic conformation and genetics on the risk of gastric dilatation-volvulus in Irish Setters","first-page":"64","volume":"34","author":"Schellenberg","year":"1998"},{"key":"ref5","series-title":"Incidence of and breed-related risk factors for gastric dilatation-volvulus in dogs","first-page":"40","volume":"216","author":"Glickman","year":"2000"},{"key":"ref6","series-title":"Nondietary risk factors for gastric dilatation-volvulus in large and giant breed dogs","first-page":"1492","volume":"217","author":"Glickman","year":"2000"},{"key":"ref7","series-title":"Diet-related risk factors for gastric dilatation-volvulus in dogs of high-risk breeds","first-page":"192","volume":"40","author":"Raghavan","year":"2004"},{"key":"ref8","series-title":"Multiple risk factors for the gastric dilatation-volvulus syndrome in dogs: a practitioner\/owner case-control study","first-page":"197","volume":"33","author":"Glickman","year":"1997"},{"key":"ref9","series-title":"Small size of food particles and age as risk factors for gastric dilatation volvulus in Great Danes","first-page":"48","volume":"143","author":"Theyse","year":"1998"},{"key":"ref10","series-title":"Gastric dilatation-volvulus after splenic torsion in two dogs","first-page":"314","volume":"207","author":"Millis","year":"1995"},{"key":"ref11","series-title":"Retrospective analysis of 19 cases of isolated torsion of the splenic pedicle in dogs","first-page":"387","volume":"38","author":"Neath","year":"1997"},{"key":"ref12","series-title":"Gastric dilatation-volvulus as complication after surgical removal of a splenic haemangiosarcoma in a dog","first-page":"371","volume":"53","author":"Marconato","year":"2006"},{"key":"ref13","series-title":"Assessment of the incidence of GDV following splenectomy in dogs","first-page":"23","volume":"51","author":"Goldhammer","year":"2010"},{"key":"ref14","series-title":"Evaluation of splenectomy as a risk factor for gastric dilatation-volvulus","first-page":"461","volume":"241","author":"Grange","year":"2012"}],"container-title":["Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/avmajournals.avma.org\/view\/journals\/javma\/242\/10\/javma.242.10.1381.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/avmajournals.avma.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/javma\/242\/10\/javma.242.10.1381.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"syndication"},{"URL":"https:\/\/avmajournals.avma.org\/downloadpdf\/journals\/javma\/242\/10\/javma.242.10.1381.xml","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,7]],"date-time":"2025-03-07T11:35:32Z","timestamp":1741347332000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/avmajournals.avma.org\/view\/journals\/javma\/242\/10\/javma.242.10.1381.xml"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013,5,15]]},"references-count":14,"journal-issue":{"issue":"10"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2460\/javma.242.10.1381","relation":{},"ISSN":["0003-1488"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0003-1488","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013,5,15]]}}}
