Intermittent Gastroesophageal Intussusception in a Kitten Resolved with a Percutaneous Gastropexy

Gastroesophageal intussusception is a rare pathology characterized by an acute or intermittent invagination of the stomach into the lumen caudal to the thoracic esophagus, the pathogenesis is not well understood, although it is likely multifactorial. The mortality is high, associated with a late dia...
