VENA LAVA RESECTION FOR RENAL CELL CARCINOMA WITH DOUBLE VENA CAVA INFERIOR

Double inferior vena cava.

Venous anomalies involving the inferior vena cava are very rare. The case of a 74-year-old man with coronary artery disease is presented. Interestingly, a double inferior vena cava was incidentally discovered during coronary artery bypass grafting. Persistence of the left hepatic segment vein appeared as a left inferior vena cava-a very rare condition.

Double inferior vena cava: beware!

Renal malignancy and inferior vena cava thrombus.

Doctor Katkoori and colleagues, from University of Miami, Florida, USA compared on page 652 the clinical presentation and outcome of right vs. left renal cell carcinoma with inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombus. They studied 87 patients who underwent radical nephrectomy and IVC thrombectomy between 1997 and 2008. Sixty patients (69%) had a right sided tumor. Mean tumor size was 10.2 (± 4) cm and w...

Surgical intervention for renal cell carcinoma with inferior vena cava extension combined with laparoscopic procedure

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) shows extreme hypervascularity, which may cause significant bleeding during surgery. For this reason, control of arterial blood supply is an important factor in the choice of operative procedure and in avoiding perioperative complications. This case series reports the successful dissection of renal artery in the preliminary stage of laparoscopic procedure...
