Does not support practice change for atrial RCC extension; leaves open comparative data on bypass techniques.
Does operative management using cardiopulmonary bypass, profound hypothermia, and total circulatory arrest improve surgical outcomes in patients with renal cancer extending into the right atrium?
Cardiopulmonary bypass with profound hypothermia and circulatory arrest is advocated as the optimal technique for resecting renal cell carcinoma extending into the right atrium to minimize embolization and hemorrhage risks.
Krane et al. (1984) studied this question.
