Abstract:
Objective Renal tumor and gynecological tumor invading into inferior vena cava and extending to the right cardiac cavities is quite uncommon,we report the experience of diagnosis and surgical treatment of intravenous tumor embolus extending through inferior vena cava into the right cardiac cavities.Methods From Junuary 2001 to May 2008,4 patients with intravenous tumor embolus extending through inferior vena cava into right cardiac cavity were treated in PUMC Hospital.Three cases were leiomyomatosis.Two patients' operation was performed by stages,firstly removed tumer in the right cardiac cavities using cardiopulmonary bypass under mid-hypothermia,and,postoperatively 3～4 weeks,total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy including the tumor mass was performed.The other patient's tumor was resected at one time.One case is renal clear cell carcinoma,The urologist performed abdominal nephrectomy and then cardiac surgeon resected tumor embolus using cardiopulmonary bypass under deep hypothermic total circulatory.Results The four patients were uneventful recovery,there was no death or any serious perioperative complications.Following up of 3 months to 4 years showed no tumor recurrence after the operation.Conclusion Confirmed diagnosis,the tumor embolus extending through inferior vena cava into the right cardiac cavities should be suspected among patients with renal cell carcinoma and multiple hysteromyoma are all critical for the treatment.Successful therapy for intravenous tumor embolus is dependent on totalone or two-stage surgical excision of the tumor and multi-department cooperation and combined therapy.
