Abstract
A new technique for inferior vena caval tumor thrombectomy is described. Vascular isolation of the cava from the right atrium to the pelvis is achieved by temporary circulatory arrest of the lower torso. Removal of the neoplastic thrombus under direct vision with minimal blood loss was accomplished in a patient with renal carcinoma, whose tumor extended into the intrapericardial vena cava.Entities:
