Right renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombus (T). Infrahepatic approach to control a retrohepatic IVC thrombi. Division of renal artery (RA). Contralateral renal vein and infrarenal IVC blood flow controlled with Rummel tourniquets. A short cavotomy (C) at the level of the renal vein (RV) allowed endoluminal occlusion of the IVC with a balloon catheter (BC) placed distal to the thrombi under transesophageal echocardiography. Thrombectomy and radical nephrectomy were then performed.
