Why the study?
Does radical nephrectomy and thrombus removal using cardiopulmonary by-pass and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest reduce operative mortality in patients with renal cell carcinoma extending to the inferior vena cava?

No operative mortality supports feasibility of CPB/DHCA for RCC with IVC thrombus; leaves open mortality benefit versus alternatives.
Does radical nephrectomy and thrombus removal using cardiopulmonary by-pass and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest reduce operative mortality in patients with renal cell carcinoma extending to the inferior vena cava?
The use of cardiopulmonary bypass and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest enables safe surgical resection of renal cell carcinoma extending into the inferior vena cava with no operative mortality in this series.
Vaislic et al. (1983) studied this question.
