Tumor invasion of the upper inferior vena cava: the use of profound hypothermia and circulation arrest as a surgical adjunct.
Publication/Presentation Date
6-1-1978
Abstract
Two children presented with abdominal tumors invading the upper inferior vena cava. To facilitate removal of the tumors, cardiopulmonary bypass with profound hypothermia and circulation arrest were utilized. This technique simplifies tumor excision and is worthwhile even in children with advanced malignant disease.
