Use of Cardiopulmonary Bypass With Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest in the Management of Ivc Tumor Thrombus

In recent years, there has been a signicant rise in the number of cases of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) that include venous extension to the inferior vena cava (IVC). This is mostly attributable to the development of several diagnostic techniques. Vascular invasion indicates an increased biological activity and poses a surgical difculty during treatment. Renal cell carcinoma accounts for around 3-4% of all solid neoplasms. 4-10% of patients with renal cell carcinoma exhibit the presence of IVC thrombus. Among such patients, extension to the right is observed in 1-3% of cases. Surgical resection is the established method used to treat such cases.
