Renal cell carcinoma – the third on occurrence frequency tumor of urinogenital system and the most widespread renal tumor which makes about 2–3% of malignancies at adults. Doubling of inferior vena cava (IVC) is anomaly in case of which two inphrarenal segments of IVC are defined. Left IVC after lockin in it the left renal vein crosses an aorta in front, connects to the right renal vein and the right IVC. Combination of renal cell carcinoma and doubling IVC is rather seldom. The presented clinical case of a combination of renal cell carcinoma and doubling of IVC has the feature existence at the patient of metachronous multiple primary neoplasms that does necessary more careful inspection of the patient. Also a doubling of renal veins on both sides and a doubling of the left renal artery have been revealed. Possibilities of presurgical non-invasive diagnostics (ultrasonography and computer tomography) of retroperitoneal space vessels anomaly at the patient with transmural localization of kidney tumor allowing to plan and execute difficult surgery – an ex vivo resection of a left kidney in the conditions of pharmacological cold ischemia was shown. Performance of an ex vivo nephrectomy in the conditions of pharmacological cold ischemia allows to dilate indications to organ-preserving treatment of patients with the localized kidney cancer. However long cold ischemia and the subsequent vascular reconstruction demand dynamic observation over kidney’s functional conditions.

Renal cell carcinoma has the tendency to form venous thrombi. This may involve the renal veins or the inferior vena cava and may extend cephalad/antegrade into the right atrium. We report a patient with renal cell carcinoma who had an intracaval tumor thrombus that had extended into the right spermatic vein. We believe this to be the first description in English literature of a histologically proven renal cell carcinoma thrombus in the spermatic vein.

Invasion of a renal cell carcinoma thrombus into the inferior vena cava and right atrium is infrequent. Reaching and completely excising a tumor from the inferior vena cava is particularly challenging because the liver covers the surgical field. We report the case of a 61-year-old man who underwent surgery for a renal cell carcinoma of the right kidney that extended into the inferior vena cava and right atrium. During dissection of the liver to expose the inferior vena cava, transesophageal echocardiograms revealed right atrial mass migration into the tricuspid valve. On emergency sternotomy, the tumor embolized into the main pulmonary artery. We used a selective upper-body perfusion technique involving moderately hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass, cardioplegic arrest, and clamping of the descending aorta, which provided a bloodless surgical field for precise removal of the mass and resulted in minimal blood loss. Our technique might be useful in other patients with tumor thrombus extending into the right atrium because it reduces the need for transfusion and avoids the deleterious effects of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. Our case also illustrates the importance of continuous transesophageal echocardiographic monitoring to detect thrombus embolization.

Pulmonary tumor embolization from renal cell carcinoma is associated with severe cardiopulmonary morbidity and high perioperative mortality rates. We report the case of a 71-year-old woman who presented with right-sided abdominal pain. Magnetic resonance images revealed a mass originating from the upper pole of the right kidney and extending into the infrahepatic portion of the inferior vena cava. Transesophageal echocardiography was continuously used to monitor the mass during intended radical nephrectomy and tumor resection. When the right kidney was mobilized, intracaval thrombus detached and migrated to the patient's right atrium, causing severe hemodynamic instability. After emergent sternotomy and during the initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass, the mass was no longer echocardiographically detectable in the heart; it was soon removed completely from the left pulmonary artery. The mass was a renal cell carcinoma. We recommend the use of transesophageal echocardiography as an efficient diagnostic tool in the early detection of pulmonary tumor embolization during the resection of renal cell carcinoma that involves the inferior vena cava.

ABSTRACT Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has a tendency to invade the renal vein and thereby reach the right heart through inferior vena cava (IVC). This may necessitate a combined surgical procedure usually under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). In the following discussion, we shall present a case of right RCC extending into the right atrium. The patient underwent a radical nephrectomy followed by removal of the tumor from right atrium, IVC and hepatic vein under CPB. How to cite this article Subramanian A, Choudhary M, Chowdhary U.
