  En este trabajo los autores revisan el síndrome de vena cava y su tratamiento quirúrgico a través de la vena yugular, con la presentación de un caso clínico. Este tratamiento quirúrgico de perros con síndrome caval agudo es simple, efectivo, no requiere cuidados especiales ni hospitalización y es el mejor enfoque práctico para este problema. La cirugía consiste en una venotomía de yugular externa con ayuda de anestesia local, y la extracción de los parásitos mediante un catéter de espiral. Este tratamiento sólo elimina los adultos localizados en vena cava anterior y posterior y aurícula derecha. Por lo tanto, es necesario, tan pronto como sea posible después de la operación, realizar el tratamiento quimioterápico de rutina para eliminar el resto de parásitos. * In this paper the authors review the Vena Caval Syndrome and the surgical treatment of the Caval Syndrome in Canine Heartworm Disease through the jugular vein with the presentation of a clinic case, in which local anesthesia was employeed. This effictive therapeutic surgery of dog with acute caval syndrome is simple, requires little speciai care or hospitalization and is the better practical approach to the problem. The venotomy was in jugular uetn, under local anesthesia, and with a spiral catheter the adults toere removed This treatment only removes the adults localized into anterior and posterior vena cava and right atrium. Thus routine chemoterapy is essential as soon as ftasible after the operazion.
