ABSTRACT
The management of tumors involving or infiltrating the inferior vena cava (IVC) constitutes a great surgical challenge, since radical resection affords patients the only possibility for long-term survival. These tumors can be resected without graft interposition, provided that there is adequate collateral circulation and that the renal function can be secured. Meanwhile, ligation of the left renal vein may be possible due to the existence of collateral circulation through the adrenal and gonadal veins. We briefly present our experience on renal outflow preservation through implantation of the right renal vein into the IVC stump or through diversion of the left renal vein into the inferior mesenteric vein.
