Description
Kaitlin Pardue and co-authors describe a surgery method for advanced kidney cancer in a 2026 paper. Kidney tumors can grow a clot of cancer up the main vein toward the heart. When the clot passes above the diaphragm, removal gets far more complex. The standard path uses a heart lung machine, which carries its own risks of organ harm and bleeding.
The team reports a method that works only through the abdomen, with no chest opening. Patient picking relied on close teamwork among kidney, heart surgery, and anesthesia teams. All patients in the series had the clot removed without the heart lung machine. The authors say more study is needed to find who suits this path best.
