Abstract
Total replacement of the inferior vena cava across the renal vein confluence was successfully performed under venovenous bypass in a patient with primary leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava. Concomitant resection of metastases by right nephrectomy, partial hepatectomy, and cholecystectomy allowed recurrence-free survival for the past 20 months. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of successful replacement of the inferior vena cava for a primary tumor.
