[Floating clot in the suprarenal inferior vena cava. Surgical extraction without extracorporeal circulation].
A new technique for extracting floating clots from the suprarenal segment of the inferior vena cava is presented in which the vein is obliterated by a Fogarty catheter, thus preventing the risk of embolism by migration of the clot. This simple technique avoids both the mixed thoracic and abdominal approach and the use of cardiopulmonary bypass.
