Unusual surgical approach to the treatment of renal cell carcinoma extending into the right atrium through the inferior vena cava
Abstract
We report an unusual surgical management of renal cell carcinoma with inferior vena cava and right atrial thrombosis. Successful management is dependent upon preoperative assessment to determine the extent of the disease, tumor thrombi has not infiltrated the walls of the vena cava, and a well planned surgical resection.
