Tumor invasion of the upper inferior vena cava: the use of profound hypothermia and circulation arrest as a surgical adjunct

T Theman et al. J Pediatr Surg. 1978 Jun.

Abstract

Two children presented with abdominal tumors invading the upper inferior vena cava. To facilitate removal of the tumors, cardiopulmonary bypass with profound hypothermia and circulation arrest were utilized. This technique simplifies tumor excision and is worthwhile even in children with advanced malignant disease.
