title: Single-Incision Thoracoabdominal Approach With Normothermic Cardiopulmonary Bypass for the Management of Urologic Tumors Invading the Inferior Vena Cava.
abstract: Urologic tumors invading the inferior vena cava can be a difficult management problem. They are traditionally dealt with utilizing hypothermic circulatory arrest through central cannulation for cardiopulmonary bypass performed through a median sternotomy in addition to the large abdominal incision for the kidney tumor. We describe a single incision approach utilizing normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass to address this technical challenge.
