Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a unique technique used widely for renal cell carcinoma patients showing inferior vena cava invasion. We used a modification of CPB technique for 2 patients. These patients were managed with CPB without cross clamping and so without cold potassium cardioplegia. The primary tumor was a renal cell carcinoma propagating into the inferior vena cava and going into the right atrium as a thrombus in both patients. As a surgical procedure the urology team did nephrectomy and then with our clinical techniques we used CPB to cool the patients to 20 degrees C and decreased the flow to 500 ml/min/m2. The heart went into spontaneous ventricular fibrillation without using cross clamping and cardioplegia. Then we did atrial and inferior vena caval thrombectomy in a bloodless and visible operation field within a safe time interval. The aim of using this technique is to prevent myocardial injury and to protect the brain from hypoxia by using this low flow technique. This method can be used safely for the management of renal cell carcinomas and for some retroperitoneal malignancies associated with vena caval and atrial involvement.
