If memory serves I think it was Dr. Karen Purcell or Dr. Ruth Heller who
mentioned using a trick of holding the Vena Cava closed and watching to see if
there was effective collaterol circulation before considerating ligation in a
past post, but I could be misrecalling who said it.
Could have been either of us, as we both have done that. The other thing
that I've had good luck with is actually incising the vena cava and removing the
tumor, then suturing the vena cava back together. It narrows blood flow, but
doesn't close it off that way.
Dr. Ruth
