Hypothesis-generating for circulatory arrest in RCC IVC thrombus resection; prospective comparative trials needed before adoption.
Does the use of circulatory arrest improve the safety and success of resecting large inferior vena caval thrombi from renal cell carcinoma?
The use of circulatory arrest during resection of large inferior vena caval thrombi from renal cell carcinoma allows for controlled tumor resection, potentially reducing massive blood loss and major vascular injury.
Montie et al. (1988) studied this question.
