Abstract

Renal cell carcinoma which invades the renal veins is a frequent complicating factor in radical nephrectomy. In a 53-year-old patient with a left renal cell carcinoma, tumor thrombus was present in an aberrant, retroaortic left renal vein, and "en bloc" resection of the overlying aneurysmal aorta with a cuff of inferior vena cava was required. The aorta was reconstructed with a dacron bifurcation graft to the iliac arteries, and the vena cava closed primarily. The patient made an uneventful postoperative recovery. The requirement for extensive aortic and vena cava resection need not compromise attempts to cure locally advanced renal cell carcinoma.
