Clinical Experiences With Axial Deviation of the Aryepiglottic Folds in 52 Racehorses

Abstract

Diagnosis of ADAF can only be made by videoendoscopic evaluation during high-speed exercise. Transendoscopic laser excision of the collapsing portion of the aryepiglottic folds can be performed safely in standing horses and results in resolution of airway obstruction and rapid return to training.
