day eight. She is alive and free of disease 2 years post-resection.
Overall Management
• Patient selection is key. Patients with underlying co-morbidities are
unlikely to have successful outcomes.
• Ex vivo liver resection should be the last option considered. There are
very few candidates for liver surgery who cannot be managed with a lesser
magnitude procedure.
• Excellent anesthesia and critical care support are also required. Intra- and
perioperative management is very similar to liver transplantation, and
similar resources are required.

Conclusion
Ex vivo resection is a dramatic technique, used only when all other techniques have
been considered and rejected. The procedure is associated with an approximately
15% mortality and considerable morbidity, including postoperative liver failure, but
at centers that have experience with the technique, it remains an option for the
unusual tumor that cannot be resected using more standard liver resection techniques. Successful long-term survival has been demonstrated and is perhaps not
surprisingly more common in benign disease such as echinococcus [15]. Patient
selection is an important part of improving survival. Unfortunately, if posto perative
liver failure develops, options are limited. Molecular Adsorbents Recirculating
System (MARS) therapy may help decrease or alleviate some of the liver failure
while patients recover [16]. Salvage liver transplantation is not typically an option,
given the initial advanced malignant indication for the resection, but would be
considered on an individual basis.

Laboratory explorations showed moderate cytolysis (aspartate aminotransferase = 126 IU/L and alanine aminotransferase = 133 IU/L). Multi-detector
computed tomography (MDCT) revealed pulmonary embolism and the images
presented in Fig. 11.1.
Clinical Presentation
A more liberal use of imaging techniques is associated with increased incidental
detection of asymptomatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). But more than 90% of
patients with tumor thrombus extending into inferior vena cava (IVC) present with
symptoms [1]. The symptoms of patients with RCC extending into the IVC include
hematuria (35%), abdominal pain (17%), and abdominal mass (2%) [2]. Other
symptoms such as lower extremity edema, right varicocele, dilated superficial
abdominal veins (caput medusae), or diagnosis such as pulmonary embolism, can
reveal the diagnosis of RCC with caval tumor thrombus. When the tumor thrombus
obstructs the hepatic veins, this may lead to abdominal pain, hepatomegaly, and
ascites (Budd-Chiari syndrome) [3]. Also, paraneoplastic syndromes including
hypertension, non-metastatic hepatic dysfunction (Stauffer’s syndrome), polycythemia, and hypercalcemia may have been observ ed in these patients [4].

11 Resection of Renal Cell Carcinoma Involving the Liver … 143
Diagnosis and Assessment
RCC is the third most frequent genitourinary cancer and its prevalence is estimated
to be between 2 and 3% of all malignant tumors in adults [5]. Due to its particular
tropism for the venous system, there is a potential for extension into the renal vein,
IVC (4–10%) and the right atrium (1%) [6, 7].
Assessment should be initiated with ultrasonography and MDCT, which are the
primary methods for diagnosis of RCC with tumor thrombus. These two imaging
techniques have demonstrated good specificity in detecting the presence of tumor
thrombus, with a sensitivity of 65 – 90%, reaching 87% when used in combination.
Doppler ultrasound provides an estimate of the direction and speed of the blood
flow within the IVC. However, the infrarenal portion of the IVC is imperfectly
visualized in obese patients and when there is some gas interposition. Also,
ultrasonography does not allow performing vessel reconstruction. MDCT is usually
required for diagnosis of RCC, staging of IVC tumor thrombus, and surgical
strategy [8]. It allows simultaneous thoracic screening. Magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI) is usually considered as the gold standard for thrombus evaluation [9].
Fluorine 18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET-CT is commonly used in cancer
staging disease. It can also be used to detect avid fluorodeoxyglucose thrombus,
reflecting malignant thrombus. In our case, the patient demonstrates common
presentation of right RCC with IVC tumor thrombosis.
Chronic obstruction of IVC by a tumor thrombus may lead to collateral vein
development through deep and superficial venous collateral vessels. Four major
collateral pathways have been described [10]: (i) The deep pathway, the most
common, concerns the ascending lumbar veins, anastomosing with the azygos vein
on the right side and the hemiazygos vein on the left side. Blood flow can also join
vertebral, paraspinal, and extravertebral plexus. (ii) In the intermediate pathway,
blood flow returns through the periureteric plexus bilaterally and the left gonadal
vein to the left renal vein. (iii) The superficial pathway is constituted with the
inferior epigastric and the abdominal wall veins, anastomosing with the superior
epigastric veins and internal mammary veins to join the subclavians veins and the
superior vena cava. (iv) The portal pathway concerns blood arising from lower
extremities through the internal iliac veins to the hemorrhoidal plexus to join the
inferior mesenteric vein and the portal system. The extent of development of these
collateral veins may help in the decision whether to proceed or not to IVC
reconstruction.
Staging of Intracaval Extension
The class ification proposed by Neves and Zincke (i.e., Mayo Classification) [11]is
the most widely used classification staging system of intracaval extension. This
latter describes four levels of IVC extension: level I when extension only concerns
the renal vein and/or the IVC < 2 cm; level II corresponds to extension within the

144 C. Lim et al.
IVC > 2 cm below the hepatic veins; level III corresponds to retrohepatic IVC
and/or hepatic veins involvement; and level IV corresponds to extension above the
diaphragm with or without atrial thrombus. The anatomic level of the tumor
thrombus within the IVC dictates surgical strategy.
Surgical Strategy
This complex surgery requires a multidisciplinary management including experienced anesthesiologists and liver surgeons. This also requires an accurate preoperative imaging assessment by experienced radiologists.
In our patient, the level and extent of tumor thrombus was established preoperatively with MDCT and MRI. The patient had a tumor originated from the right
kidney with an IVC tumor thrombus involving more than half of the circumference
of the IVC, and extending into the retrohepatic IVC and the ostia of the right
hepatic vein. There was no lymph node involvement or metastasis upon preoperative imaging. The relationship of the tumor thrombus to the liver, hepatic veins,
diaphragm, and right atrium determined its staging as a level III tumor, according to
the classification by Neves and Zincke.
For this case, we discussed three potential scenarios according to the preoperative clinical and radiological findings: (i) to perform right nephrectomy and IVC
thrombectomy; (ii) to perform right nephrectomy and IVC resection; or (iii) to
perform right nephrectomy, right hepatectomy and IVC resection. In all cases, it is
necessary to perform the surger y under standard total vascular exclusion (TVE) of
the liver. In case of hemodynamics instability at the moment of TVE, a venovenous
bypass would be installed to maintain hemodynamics and prevent kidney and
splanchnic venous congestion (see below) [12, 13]. This case of level III thrombus
(extension to the right hepatic vein) did not theoretically require a combined
abdominal-thoracic and sternotomy approach with a cardiopulmonary bypass. In
addition, if TVE was predicted to last potentially longer than 60 min, the patient
would have TVE of the liver with in situ hypothermic portal perfusion and venovenous bypass (usually cavo-porto-jugular, see below).
Intraoperative anesthesia was specifically adapted to the risks of massive
bleeding, general hypothermia, rapid hemodynamic changes, and coagulation disorders subsequent to ischemia-reperfusion injury. Intraoperative monitoring and
management included the following modifications in addition to standard noninvasive techniques: (1) two large-bore intravenous cannulas or a large-bore central
catheter (a cordis with a triple-lumen central catheter); (2) an arterial catheter; (3) a
Swann-Ganz catheter; (4) a rapid infusion device; (5) body and fluids warmers.
Transesophageal echocardiography was used to provide real-time staging and
surveillance of the cranial part and mobility of the thrombus.

Technical Aspects
Surgical Incisions
Surgical incision should be performed according to the anticipated level of tumor
thrombus and the type of vascular control. A large number of different incisions are
possible for the treatment of right renal tumors with retrohepatic IVC thrombosis.
For our case, a transabdominal approach (J-shaped or bi-subcostal incision) or a
thoracophrenolaparotomy using an oblique incision along the eighth or ninth
intercostal space may be performed. The goal of these incisions was to facilitate
proximal control of the suprahepatic IVC. This latter might be achieved either via
an abdominal approach with or without pericardial incision, a transdiaphragmatic
extrapericardial approach [14], or by sternotomy. In our patient, we performed a
J-shaped incision with an intrapericardial approach of the IVC (Fig. 11.2).
Surgery of the IVC and Hepatic Veins
The type of IVC surgery varied according to the location and the extent of the
tumor thrombus, which was decided during surgery. If less than 30% of the
