“…Pethidine has a shorter analgesic effect typically not extending beyond one hour (Branson and others 2001), and while it is less likely to predispose animals to bradycardia, it tends to increase HR due to its modest atropine‐like effects (Lamont and Mathews 2007). In the authors’ case, buprenorphine was selected to provide analgesia (Brodbelt and others 1997) and provide inhalant anaesthetic‐sparing effect (Queiroz‐Williams and others 2014) without eliciting a significant reduction in HR.…”

A seven-month-old female bulldog with severe valvular pulmonic stenosis and ventricular septal defect presented for general anaesthesia for repeat balloon valvuloplasty. The first balloon valvuloplasty procedure was not successful. The second balloon valvuloplasty was effective but was associated with cardiovascular collapse, which was unresponsive to atropine and epinephrine administration and progressed to asystole. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was unsuccessful. Anaesthetic management of dogs undergoing balloon valvuloplasty is challenging. Selection of anaesthetic technique must consider existing cardiac pathology, common intraprocedural and postprocedural complications and their management options. This case report describes a fatal intraoperative complication of balloon valvuloplasty unresponsive to anticholinergic and sympathomimetic treatment and discusses potential aetiologies of the complication and reasons for treatment failure.
