title: Renal carcinoma infiltrating inferior vena cava and combined valvular heart disease--one-stage uro-cardiological procedure: a case report.
abstract: Standard treatment of patients with coexisting cardiac and non-cardiac diseases includes two separate operations. We report a case of 55-year-old man with combined valvular heart disease and renal carcinoma infiltrating inferior caval vein, who underwent one-stage cardio-urologic procedure. In the first step, mitral and tricuspid valvuloplasty were performed by cardiac surgeons. Then, urologists performed radical nephrectomy and thrombectomy. The postoperative course was uneventful. In twelve months follow-up the patient shows no signs of recurrence and he had no symptoms of cardiac disease. To the best of our knowledge such a case has never been reported before in the literature.
