**** Prognostic significance of IVC thrombus level has been controversial. Even patients with level IV IVC thrombi can be cured with surgical resection
***#'''Angiomyolipoma'''
**** Imaging should be obtained as close as possible to the date of surgery because progression of the tumor thrombus may mandate important changes in intraoperative management
***'''2 components associated with IVC thrombi:'''
**** Although MRI has been recommended as the test of choice at most centers, several recent studies have demonstrated that multiplanar CT also provides sufficient information for surgical planning, and it has become the preferred diagnostic study at many centers.
***#'''Tumor thrombus (tumor cells contained within bland thrombus)'''

** '''Prognosis'''
***#'''Bland thrombus (blood coagulum without tumor cells)'''
*** '''45-70% of patients with RCC and IVC thrombus can be cured with an aggressive surgical approach including RN and IVC thrombectomy'''
***#*'''Venous drainage is hampered by venous thrombus encouraging formation of bland thrombus'''
** '''Management'''
***#*'''Distinction between these two forms of venous thrombus is critical and forms the basis of operative management for IVC thrombi.'''
*** '''Preoperative renal artery embolization can be considered to attempt to shrink the thrombus and facilitate surgery'''

****10% have associated positive regional lymph nodes
****25% have associated metastases
****50% have perirenal fat invasion.

***'''Prognosis'''
****'''45-70% of patients with RCC and IVC thrombus can be cured with an aggressive surgical approach including RN and IVC thrombectomy'''
***'''Management'''
****'''Usually, IVC thrombectomy is accompanied by radical nephrectomy and regional lymph node dissection'''
