Double inferior vena cava (DIVC) is a rare but generally asymptomatic condition that is often detected incidentally by radiological examinations such as computed tomography (CT). Here, we describe the case of a 73-year-old woman with DIVC, who underw...
PURPOSE: We introduce an intrapericardial control technique using a robotic approach in the surgical treatment of renal tumor with level IV inferior vena cava thrombus to decrease the severe complications associated with cardiopulmonary bypass and de...
BACKGROUND: We aimed to compare the oncological outcomes between the oblique occlusion technique and the traditional technique for robot-assisted radical nephrectomy (RARN) with inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombectomy, and to explore the safety and eff...
BACKGROUND: Facing the 0.7-22% incidence rate of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with inferior vena cava tumor thrombus (IVCTT), there are usually no obvious symptoms and signs when the tumor thrombus completely blocks the IVCTT in the early stage.1.J...

BACKGROUND: Renal tumour can invade the venous system and ~4-10% patients with renal tumour had venous thrombus. Although the feasibility of robot-assisted laparoscopic inferior vena cava thrombectomy (RAL-IVCT) in patients with inferior vena cava (I...

Current noninvasive estimation of right atrial pressure (RAP) by inferior vena cava (IVC) measurement during echocardiography may have significant inter-rater variability due to different levels of observers' experience. Therefore, there is a need to...
BACKGROUND: The primary surgical approach for removing adrenal masses is minimally invasive adrenalectomy. Recognition of anatomical landmarks during surgery is critical for minimizing complications. Artificial intelligence-based tools can be utilize...
PURPOSE: To examine whether there is a significant difference in image quality between the deep learning reconstruction (DLR [AiCE, Advanced Intelligent Clear-IQ Engine]) and hybrid iterative reconstruction (HIR [AIDR 3D, adaptive iterative dose redu...
