A 58-year-old male patient was scheduled for the surgical
removal of a cavoatrial thrombus and renal tumors during
cardiopulmonary bypass without circulatory arrest. Throughout
the operation, continuous monitoring for pulmonary embolism
was carried out by transesophageal echocardiography.
A multidisciplinary team including anesthetists, urologists,
and cardiovascular and gastrointestinal surgeons performed
the operation successfully. This case report highlights the
importance of anesthetic management in renal-cell carcinoma
patients with a cavoatrial thrombus.
