“…There have been reports of two other patients having RCC and the presence of CAD ( 12 , 13 ), including one RCC case with TT extending into the RA in a patient with previous sternotomy ( 13 ), with good outcomes observed in both patients. Our patients were different in that we were able to remove the TT below and above diaphragm without CPB as previously described ( 9 , 10 ), and our surgeries were also successful.…”
