A team of veterinarians led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Anusak Kijtawornrat, Department of Physiology, Chulalongkorn’s Faculty of Veterinary Science, along with 6 veterinarians from Monster Care Animal Hospital, Motivet Animal Hospital, and Bangkok Heart Animal Hospital successfully performed surgery on a dog using said method for the first time in Thailand on January 8, 2024, and again on January 9, 2024.
.
This surgical method leaves a small wound, with no need for an artificial heart or lung machine, resulting in a quick recovery for the dog and lower costs. In addition, the dog’s heart will be reconditioned, and help delay the progression of heart failure and death.

The mitral clamp operation has been performed in many countries including the USA, European countries, China, Japan, and South Korea. Initially, it was used in humans before being adapted to be used in animals. However, this method had never been performed in Thailand or Southeast Asia before.
