Pericardial patching may enable IVC reconstruction in supradiaphragmatic RCC thrombus; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before wider use.
Does vena caval reconstruction with pericardium allow for successful surgical excision in patients with supradiaphragmatic renal cell carcinoma tumor thrombus?
Pericardial patching is a viable technique for inferior vena cava reconstruction during the complex surgical excision of supradiaphragmatic renal cell carcinoma tumor thrombi.
Marshall et al. (1985) studied this question.
