Key result
TEE guides surgical planning and intraoperative monitoring in RCC with venous tumor thrombus.
Why the study?
The role of transesophageal echocardiography in the surgical management of renal cell carcinoma with venous tumor thrombus beyond Level 4 thrombi and cardiopulmonary bypass cases is not well defined.

Intraoperative TEE may aid RCC tumor thrombus resection beyond Level 4 or CPB cases; leaves open prospective validation before broader adoption.
Calderone et al. (2018) conducted a review in Renal cell carcinoma with venous tumor thrombus. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was evaluated. Transesophageal echocardiography provides essential information for surgical planning and intraoperative monitoring in the management of renal cell carcinoma with venous tumor thrombus.
