Abstract
This study describes a clinical observation of successful implementation of a new surgical maneuver: formation of a cross tunnel
under the mouths of themajor hepatic veins during removal of a tumor thrombus of the inferior vena cava. This surgical technique
helps avoid the usage of “piggyback” mobilization of the liver and the complications associated with it. However, for objective
evaluation of this approach, a further clinical study is required.
