Abstract
Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) is complicated by inferior vena cava (IVC) involvement in 4-10% of cases with intraoperative tumor embolization associated with 60-75% mortality. Currently, there is no high-level evidence demonstrating which surgical techniques provide optimal outcomes. The Protrieve SheathTM (Inari Medical®) has been used in the vascular setting for complex deep vein thrombosis(DVT) and non-tumor IVC thrombectomy cases. We aim to describe its first use in the setting of RCC with IVC thrombectomy to help prevent intraoperative tumor embolization. The Protrieve SheathTM successfully provided potentially life-saving protection from clot embolization when performing radical nephrectomy with IVC thrombectomy.
