Selective Upper-Body Perfusion Technique for Removal of Renal Cell Carcinoma Extending into the Inferior Vena Cava and Right Atrium.

ABSTRACT: Invasion of a renal cell carcinoma thrombus into the inferior vena cava and right atrium is infrequent. Reaching and completely excising a tumor from the inferior vena cava is particularly challenging because the liver covers the surgical field. We report the case of a 61-year-old man who underwent surgery for a renal cell carcinoma of the right kidney that extended into the inferior vena cava and right atrium. During dissection of the liver to expose the inferior vena cava, transesophageal echocardiograms revealed right atrial mass migration into the tricuspid valve. On emergency sternotomy, the tumor embolized into the main pulmonary artery. We used a selective upper-body perfusion technique involving moderately hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass, cardioplegic arrest, and clamping of the descending aorta, which provided a bloodless surgical field for precise removal of the mass and resulted in minimal blood loss. Our technique might be useful in other patients with tumor thrombus extending into the right atrium because it reduces the need for transfusion and avoids the deleterious effects of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Our case also illustrates the importance of continuous transesophageal echocardiographic monitoring to detect thrombus embolization.

Surgical management of ovarian carcinosarcoma with inferior vena cava extension into the right atrium.

Project description:Gynecological carcinosarcomas are aggressive tumors with rare occurrence and high rates of metastases. We present the case of a 49-year-old woman with vaginal bleeding and abdominal distension who was found to have a large ovarian carcinosarcoma invading the gonadal vein and inferior vena cava (IVC) and extending into right atrium (RA). She underwent gynecologic tumor resection, IVC cavotomy and en bloc resection of tumor/thrombus through the RA. Use of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography helped assess extent and mobility of mass in the RA to guide surgical approach. This case posed unique challenges with regard to management of induction, hemodynamics and coagulopathy.

Long-term recurrence-free survival of adrenocortical cancer extending into the inferior vena cava and right atrium: Case report and literature review.

Project description:Adrenocortical cancer (ACC) is rare but frequently fatal malignancy. Tumor extension into the inferior vena cava signifies an advanced stage (stage III) of the disease and is frequently associated with high risk of recurrence and short-term survival.To present the surgical and medical management of an unusual case of ACC with IVC invasion up to the right atrium. He has the longest reported tumor-free survival of such a situation. We also reviewed and summarized the literature of similar cases.We present a 15-year old boy who presented with an 11?cm ACC extending into the IVC up to the right atrium and causing the Budd Chiari syndrome. He had complete surgical excision under cardiopulmonary bypass of a large ACC followed by Mitotane adjunctive therapy for 5 years. He is alive and free of any clinical or radiological signs of recurrence 98 months after surgery. This is the longest tumor-free survival reported in the literature of similar cases.Significant invasion of the IVC up to the right atrium by ACC should not preclude surgery with the intent of complete resection. Cardiopulmonary bypass significantly aids this surgical procedure and Mitotane therapy should be instituted postoperatively. Long-term free-survival is possible in such a situation.our patient and the literature review strongly suggest that complete surgical extirpation is the primary choice for patients with ACC invading the IVC, including those reaching the right atrium.

Efficacy of Local Treatments for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Involving the Inferior Vena Cava and/or Right Atrium.

Project description:Major vessel invasion is frequently observed in locally advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The most commonly involved major vessel is the portal vein; however, approximately 4% of patients with HCC have inferior vena cava (IVC) and/or right atrium (RA) invasion. Although these conditions have dismal prognoses, local treatments have not been regularly administered because they may affect systemic circulation. Owing to recent technological advances, various local treatments including surgery and external radiotherapy have increasingly been performed in these patients. Since irradiating tumorous lesions in the liver while preserving normal tissues is possible and major vessels are relatively resistant to radiation, external radiotherapy has been a feasible palliative modality for treating vessel-invasive HCC. In addition, systemic fatal complications that were initially a cause of concern have become rare after radiotherapy. While invasive procedures such as extracorporeal circulation or hepatic vascular exclusion may be required, pioneering surgeons have performed surgical resections in selected patients and have obtained promising results. Surgery has shown the best survival outcomes compared to other treatment options including radiotherapy, but the possibility of perioperative morbidity should be considered. In addition, a combination of local treatment and novel systemic agents, which demonstrated better survival and response rates than sorafenib, is expected to maximize therapeutic effects. In this review, we have discussed the most recent treatments for HCC with IVC and/or RA involvement and have provided information intended to guide therapeutic decisions and facilitate future research.

Robot-assisted removal of inferior vena cava filter.

Project description:This case describes a 57-year-old morbidly obese woman with complications of a permanent Bard inferior vena cava (IVC) filter (BD Bard, Covington, Ga) placed in 2005. She complained of recurrent abdominal pain for 6 years associated with constipation, nausea, and bloating. Computed tomography venography showed an IVC filter with malposition, strut fracture, and extrusion, and a fractured strut protruded outside of the vena cava, adjacent to the distal right common iliac artery. The da Vinci Xi Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, Calif) was used to remove the IVC filter and its displaced fractured strut. The operation time was 189 minutes, with an estimated blood loss of 200 mL. She was discharged home on postoperative day 2 with no complications. She had complete resolution of abdominal pain at her follow-up appointment.

Liver resection with thrombectomy for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and tumour thrombus in the inferior vena cava or right atrium.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with tumour thrombus (TT) in the inferior vena cava (IVC) or right atrium (RA) is a rare advanced disease state with a poor prognosis. The aim of this study was to examine survival after surgical resection. METHODS:Patients with HCC and TT of either the IVC or RA, who underwent liver resection between February 1997 and July 2017, were included. Their short- and long-term outcomes and surgical details were analysed retrospectively. RESULTS:Thirty-seven patients were included; 16 patients had TT in the IVC below the diaphragm, eight had TT in the IVC above the diaphragm, and 13 had TT entering the RA. Twelve patients had advanced portal vein TT (portal vein invasion (Vp) greater than Vp3 and Vp4), ten had bilobar disease, and 12 had extrahepatic disease. There were no in-hospital deaths, although two patients died within 90?days. Median survival did not differ between patients who had resection with curative intent (18·7?months) and those with residual tumour in the lung only (20·7?months), but survival was poor for patients with residual tumour in the liver (8·3?months). CONCLUSION:Liver resection with thrombectomy for advanced HCC with TT in the IVC or RA is safe and feasible, leading to moderate survival.

Renal Angiomyolipoma with Tumor Thrombus in the Inferior Vena Cava and Right Atrium Accompanied by Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report.

Project description:Background: Renal angiomyolipoma (AML) without local invasion is generally considered benign. However, it may extend to the renal sinus, even the renal vein, or the inferior vena cava (IVC). In patients with non-tuberous sclerosis complex, coexistence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and renal AML is uncommon. Case presentation: A 72-year-old woman was incidentally found to have a solitary right renal mass with an IVC thrombus extending into the right atrium during a routine health checkup. Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical nephrectomy and thrombectomy were successfully performed through adequate preoperative examination and preparation. Two tumor lesions were found and pathologically confirmed as renal AML and RCC, and the tumor thrombus was derived from the renal AML. During the one-year follow-up period, no signs of recurrence or metastatic disease were observed. Conclusions: Renal AML with a tumor thrombus in the IVC and right atrium accompanied by RCC may occur, although rarely. In clinical practice, if preoperative manifestations differ from those of common diseases, rare diseases must be considered to avoid missed diagnoses. In addition, adequate examination and multidisciplinary discussions before making a diagnosis are necessary. For a level 4 tumor thrombus with no infringement of the venous wall, adoption of robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, without extracorporeal circulation technology, is feasible.
