title: [Acute heart arrest during urologic routine interventions in 2 cases. Interdisciplinary crisis management assures tumor-free survival despite fulminant lung embolism with acute heart arrest during thoraco-abdominal tumor nephrectomy and radical cystoprostatovesiculectomy].
abstract: Intraoperative pulmonary embolism with acute cardiac arrest can successfully be managed by immediate open cardiac massage followed by rt-PA injection, an inter-disciplinary approach is mandatory. The scheduled tumor nephrectomy was performed 6 weeks after the initial event. The tumor was embolised with intravascular coils placed in a supraselective manner by the radiologist. During the secondary procedure it was found to be necrotic. In the second case the event occurred at the end of a radical cystectomy. Instead of an ileal conduit cutaneous ureterostomies were used for urinary drainage after cardiac output had been restored and rt-PA had been administered.
