May support intraoperative TEE monitoring in high-risk renal surgery; leaves open whether routine use improves outcomes.
Kim et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Renal cell carcinoma with inferior vena cava tumor thrombus (n=1). Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was evaluated on Detection of tumor thrombus migration. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography promptly detected the migration of a tumor thrombus during radical nephrectomy with inferior vena cava thrombectomy.
