Abstract

We describe a case that involved surgery and anesthesia for removal of a renal cell carcinoma invading right kidney, inferior vena cava (IVC) and right atrium. Since such cases are usually performed only in major hospitals we think it is worth while to report this procedure and to include a variety of images. The perioperative use of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in these cases is highly encouraged.
