Abstract
Our results have proven clearly the benefit of nephrectomy with tumour thromboectomy in patients with renal cell carcinoma growing into inferior vena cava. The benefit of the surgery is obvious even in the case of patients with distant metastases which remain stationery on a long-term basis with the today's possibilities of the oncological treatment.
Our exeperience confirms the necessity of performing these surgeries on a centralized basis with a team formed by an experienced vascular surgeon and cardiac surgeon.
