| Popis: | A woman with renal cell carcinoma confined within Gerota's fascia but extending to the supradiaphragmatic vena cava was successfully treated with the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass. The approach was a subcostal chevron incision coupled with a midline sternotomy. The rationale and indications for aggressive surgery of renal cell carcinoma with massive caval extension are discussed. |
