[Technical approach to excision of renal cancers with venous thrombus extending to the right auricle. Apropos of 4 cases].
The authors report four cases of renal neoplasm with associated thrombosis of the vena cava, extending to the right auricle. Three cases involved the right kidney. Three patients underwent operation with cardio-pulmonary bypass; two operations were successful and one had a fatal outcome. Although the technique of this operation has been considerably simplified, this operation is not performed routinely.
