Inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) embolization is not uncommon and can reach 11,8%. However, device migration to the heart is not frequent and occurs in cases after IVCF fracture. We show the case of a young woman who was submitted to an unremarkable IVCF placement three days before and presented with hemodynamic instability. Since the device was not retrievable, the surgical team opted for an open cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass to remove IVCF.

We herein report the challenging evaluation and planning process involved in performing the first successful surgical resection of a renal tumor with extensive inferior vena cava tumor thrombosis reaching the right atrium in a pediatric patient within the Central American region. In November 2018, the Oncology Department of the National Children’s Hospital in Costa Rica consulted our Center for Liver Transplantation and Hepatobiliary Surgery for the evaluation of a clinical case involving a 6-year-old female patient with progressive Budd-Chiari syndrome caused by a Wilms’ tumor of the right kidney with tumor thrombosis of the inferior vena cava reaching the right atrium. A multistage surgical safety strategy combining liver transplant techniques and cardiac surgery was thereafter designed and implemented, achieving complete excision of the tumor thrombus from the inferior vena cava with right nephrectomy. Postoperatively, the patient exhibited complete clinical resolution of Budd-Chiari syndrome and has remained tumor free with excellent quality of life while pursuing her second grade of primary school education 22 months after the successful implementation of this multistage surgical safety strategy. The combination of liver transplantation techniques and cardiac surgery based on a multistage surgical safety strategy minimized the occurrence of unexpected intraoperative events and allowed for complete renal tumor resection and level IV thrombectomy for the first time in a pediatric patient of a public health system in a developing country within the Central American region.
