In the present case, we performed the tumor resection withtransient transection and primary repair of the IVC in order to avoid invasive surgery. Although theusual treatment for younger patients is complete tumor resection with wide margins (IVC and adjacentorgans) to minimize relapse, this may be too invasive for aged patients. In this report, we discuss theimportance of minimizing the risk of complications following treatments in aged patients.}, pages = {1--12}, title = {Leiomyosarcoma involving the inferior vena cava in an elderly patient with reference to its operative modalities : a case report}, volume = {24}, year = {2011} }
