The equine jugular surgical resection is indicated in septic thrombophlebitis to reduce the
usual complication as septic thromboembolism, phlegmon and abscess. The objective of this
work was to evaluate the clinical and angiographic regional aspects after unilateral segmented
equine jugular resection. Five adult horses were submitted to homograft from jugular vein.
Thirty days later the graft was surgically removed. Until to 10th postoperative day, the horses
showed parotid and submandibular edema, absence of blood flow from jugular vein operated
and the vein failed to distend after the pressure caudal to the surgical site. One year from the
vascular resection it was observed on the operated side the discrete swelling on the right
parotid without pain or high local temperature. The blood flow from operated jugular was
present showed by tourniquet. The venographic image from the operated jugular showed
several blood vessels with sinusous rote, making connections between cranial and caudal
operated jugular vein. These permitted the restablishment of the blood drain through the
caudal aspect of the jugular vein.
