Fig 5 A, Magnetic resonance image of 64-year-old man shows a retroperitoneal sarcoma involving the perirenal, suprarenal, and retrohepatic inferior vena cava. B, Reconstruction after inferior vena cava (IVC) resection done with 14-mm polytetrafluoroethylene ringed graft and reimplantation of both renal veins. Retrohepatic anastomosis was performed first, after hepatic vascular isolation and liver rotation.
