Why the study?
Does radical resection employing hypothermic circulatory arrest improve survival and provide palliation in patients with intracaval extension of renal cell carcinoma to the right atrium?
Does radical resection employing hypothermic circulatory arrest improve survival and provide palliation in patients with intracaval extension of renal cell carcinoma to the right atrium?
Radical resection of cavoatrial renal cell carcinoma using hypothermic circulatory arrest is safe and can provide excellent palliation or potential cure in patients without diffuse metastatic disease.
