Frequency of 5-year survival of patients with renal cell carcinoma, complicated with venous invasion, at the absence of distant metastases, is 40-69%, while the intravenous spreading is not considered a criterion for dissemination of the tumorous process in the postoperative period.

Despite the improvements in the techniques of caval thrombectomy, surgical treatment continues to be technically difficult, associated with a high incidence of complications and mortality, especially in the removal of tumorous thrombi of the retrohepatic and supradiaphragmatic parts of the inferior vena cava and the right atrium. Extremely important for the safe removal of the tumorous thrombi is the preoperative assessment of the prevalence of neoprocesses, the presence of venous wall invasion, of hepatic veins (Budd-Chiari syndrome), as well as optimal prevention of thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications. Conclusions. Radical surgery remains the method of choice in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma complicated with thrombosis of the inferior vena cava and the right atrium.
