Mohali, 05th Feb,
2020:- A 45-yr male patient suffering from
a rare cancer of inferior vena cava (IVC) treated successfully at Ivy
Hospital,Mohali recently. IVC is a large vein that carries deoxygenated
blood from the lower and middle body into the right atrium of the heart.
Surgery was performed by Dr. Vijay
Bansal, Chief Cancer Surgeon along with Dr. Avinash Srivastava, Kidney Transplant
Surgeon and Dr. Srinath, Vascular Surgeon at Ivy Hospital.
Addressing a press conference at
Ivy Hospital on Wednesday, Dr. Bansal informed that the patient was presented
with a huge tumor about 30x25 cm in size involving whole of the abdomen. This
tumor was arising from the biggest vessel of the body and from the junction of
left renal (kidney) vessel and Leiomyosarcoma of IVC.
This is a rare tumor i.e sarcoma of
IVC which involved a very complicated surgery.
Surgery was lasted for 6-hours
where we have to remove the tumor from IVC which was very hard to do due to
location of tumor and risk involved in doing the surgery.
Dr. Vijay Bansal said that as the
tumor was also very near to left kidney, thus in order to remove cancerous
tumor an auto transplant of left kidney vein with IVC after excision of the
tumor were done.
Dr. Vijay Bansal who was earlier
worked with Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai said that due to high-risk surgery
and huge tumor, this was major surgery and was possible due to the availability
of the super-specialty team and best equipment at Ivy Hospital. He added that the
best part of the surgery that the tumor was fully excised without sacrificing
the kidney and any important organ.
The patient is now perfectly fine
and he is working and eating well without any complications.
