Primary leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava: Is vascular reconstruction always necessary?

Abstract Both MRI and CT scan can determine tumor size and its extension. PLV have a poor prognosis if surgical resection cannot be achieved. We recommend no reconstruction for type II PLV if venous contact is less than 180° or where the implantation base does not exceed one third of the vena cava.
