Abstract: | Cardiopulmonary bypass, temporary cardiac arrest, and exsanguination have facilitated the surgical resection of renal tumors with intracaval thrombi that extend above the hepatic veins or into the atrium. The bloodless field provided by this approach enables the surgeon to utilize a flexible cystoscope to ensure that the caval thrombus has been removed entirely from the hepatic veins. |
