  • Title: [Anesthetic management for renal tumor extending to the inferior vena cava].
    Author: Kurokawa S, Hida S, Fukuda S, Denda S, Shimoji K.

    Abstract:
    A 58 year-old woman underwent radical nephrectomy, thrombectomy and ileo-cecal resection for renal tumor with thrombus involving the inferior vena cava and ascending colon cancer. In a patient having tumor thrombus extending to the vena cava, recognition of the position of the thrombus is important for surgical and anesthetic management in pre- and intra-operative periods. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) enabled us to visualize the real-time movement and deformity of thrombus by surgical manipulation and compression during operation. TEE seemed also very useful not only in understanding the hemodynamics during operation but also in detecting the residual tumor and the blood flow in liver and the inferior vena cava after operation.
