Abstract

In recent years, cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB), a standard adjunct for open heart surgery, has been used more frequently to treat diseases that are not primarily of cardiac origin. We report one case of major left adrenal pheochromocytoma surgery and another of surgery for localized renal cell carcinoma with a tumor thrombus extending up the vena cava to the right atrium using adjunctive cardiopulmonary bypass.
