    AbstractA 68-year-old female with retroperitoneal tumor extending into the inferior vena cava (IVC) developed massive pulmonary tumor embolism during removal of the tumor. Because of her unstable hemodynamics, emergency pulmonary embolectomy under cardiopulmonary bypass was performed. Successful management of her intra- and post-operative persistent right heart failure led to a satisfactory postoperative course without serious neurological complications. In peri-operative management of a patient with an extended tumor into IVC, prevention of the embolism, detection of the pulmonary embolism and treatment of intra- and post-operative right heart failure are important.
