Abstract
Objective:
To research the best time to provide cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and the best way to do it when treating an extensive tumor thrombosis of the inferior vena cava vein (IVC).
Results:
The operating times in groups A and B were (376.7 ± 91.2) and (373.1 ± 80.7) minutes, respectively, with no statistically significant difference (t = 0.716, p > 0.05); intraoperative bleeding was (1916.7 ± 925.1) ml and (2600 ± 3756.3) ml, (t = −0.601, p < 0.05), and hospitalization was (32.3 ± 16.0) and (34.0 ± 8.0) days, with statistically significant differences (p < 0.05).
Conclusion:
The CPB approach has the advantages of less intraoperative blood loss, faster surgical procedures, and fewer hospitalizations.
