Abstract
A new surgical technique to treat retroperitoneal tumors with supradia phragmatic vena caval invasion is described. In this technique, hepati c warm ischemia can be avoided with reversed hepatic outflow through t he portal vein and neither hypothermic circulatory arrest nor cardiopu lmonary bypass is necessary using centrifugal blood pump-driven bypass .
