ABSTRACT
Intraoperative pulmonary embolism can result in severe hemodynamic instability, including cardiac arrest. Therefore, immediate diagnosis and proper treatment are required. We report a case of the acute cardiac and pulmonary embolisms during radical nephrectomy and inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombectomy in a patient with renal cell carcinoma with thrombus in the IVC. We diagnosed the cardiac embolism intraoperatively using the transesophageal echocardiogram, and performed emergent cardiac and pulmonary embolectomies immediately. After the surgery, the patient was discharged without any complication.
