| Zusammenfassung: | A 70-year-old male with right renal mass incidentally found by annual check-up using ultrasound, was referred to Department of Urology, Jikei University Affiliated Kashiwa Hospital. He was diagnosed as having right renal cell carcinoma with vena caval tumor thrombus extending above the diaphragm (T3c) preoperatively. The day before the scheduled day of operation, right pulmonary infarction caused by spontaneous migration of vena caval tumor thrombus of right renal cell carcinoma developed. Although arterial blood gas findings were poor, he only had low grade chest pain without shock. Therefore, we successfully performed right radical nephrectomy and thrombectomy of right pulmonary artery the next day. He was discharged 42 days postoperatively, but, he died from acute heart failure 9 months after the operation |
