Wide resection and IVC reconstruction with partial cardiopulmonary bypass can be successfully performed for complex, invasive leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava.
Feasibility of complex IVC reconstruction shown in one case; leaves open long-term outcomes and generalizability.
A 49-year-old woman presented with right lumbar pain and edema in both legs. Computed tomography showed a large low attenuated mass around and in the S7 segment of the liver involving the right kidney and multiple enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes. There were multiple variably sized discrete nodules in both lungs. Cavography showed subtotal occlusion of the inferior vena cava (IVC). She was successfully treated by wide resection and IVC reconstruction with partial cardiopulmonary bypass and metastasectomy.
