Title: [Anesthetic management of a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma with tumor thrombosis extending into the right atrium]. Author: Kusumoto G, Mizukami S, Higa K. Journal: Masui; 2006 May; 55(5):603-4. PubMed ID: 16715916. Abstract: We report a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma whose tumor thrombus was extending into the right atrium. A 55-year-old man underwent extended anterior segmental hepatectomy and removal of the tumor thrombus in the right atrium under cardiopulmonary bypass and general anesthesia using sevoflurane, nitrous oxide and oxygen. End-tidal carbon dioxide was closely monitored to detect pulmonary tumor emboli during the surgery. Intravenous fluid and blood transfusion in large volumes were necessary to avoid circulatory derangement.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
