Abstract

This report details a case of complete, type A atrioventricular (AV) canal, also called complete endocardial cushion defect, in a young dog. Complete AV canal is classified as three types: A, B or C depending on the degree of linkage between common AV valve and ventricular chambers. Despite the defect this dog, which did not undergo surgical treatment, remains in ISACHC class Ib 19 months after the initial diagnosis.
