Hypernephroma of the right kidney with inferior vena caval and right atrial thrombosis: case study and successful removal.

This procedure can be performed provided the tumor has not infiltrated the walls of the vena cava. The risk of embolic dissemination and cardiocirculatory complications is decreased.
