Abstract

A secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) was diagnosed in a 1-year-old Turkish Kangal dog after dissection for student education. The defect was 21.99 mm in maximum length and 8.37 mm in maximum width and was elliptical. The dog had no clinical disorders. This is the first case of a secundum ASD reported in an adult Kangal dog. © TÜBİTAK.
