The objective of this prospective, a descriptive cohort study on 100 client-owned dogs who were presented with GDV, is to describe a modified belt-loop gastropexy and determine its intraoperative complications and long-term efficacy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The transversus abdominis muscle was used to make an oblique belt-loop. A seromuscular antral fold, instead of a seromuscular antral flap, was passed through the belt-loop, and then, the passed portion of the antral fold was sutured to the dissected edge of the abdominal wall. Intraoperative complications related to gastropexy were recorded, and the incidence of GDV recurrence was determined a minimum of 1 yr postoperatively via telephone with the referring veterinarians and the owners. There were no intraoperative complications related to the modified belt-loop gastropexy technique. Based on follow-up conversations, none of the dogs presented signs of GDV recurrence during the follow-up period. Based on the results, there is strong clinical evidence that a modified belt-loop gastropexy prevents recurrence of GDV in dogs surviving an acute episode.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5326\/jaaha-ms-6596","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,24]],"date-time":"2018-07-24T16:49:58Z","timestamp":1532450998000},"page":"239-245","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["A Prospective Evaluation of a Modified Belt-Loop Gastropexy in 100 Dogs with Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus"],"prefix":"10.5326","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"Luca","family":"Formaggini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From Clinica Veterinaria Lago Maggiore, Dormelletto, Italy (L.F.); and Ospedale Veterinario Gregorio VII, Rome, Italy (M.T.D.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matteo Tommasini","family":"Degna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From Clinica Veterinaria Lago Maggiore, Dormelletto, Italy (L.F.); and Ospedale Veterinario Gregorio VII, Rome, Italy (M.T.D.)."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3280","reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"bib1","series-title":"Vet Surg","first-page":"235","article-title":"Evaluation of percutaneous gastrostomy as a technique for permanent gastropexy","volume":"26","author":"Waschak\n              MJ","year":"1997","unstructured":"Waschak\n              MJ\n            , PayneJT, PopeER, et al.
