Two patients with renal cell carcinoma that extended into the inferior vena cava (IVC) to the level of the hepatic veins and also had coronary artery disease are presented. Both patients underwent a onestage combined coronary revascularization and extended right nephrectomy with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass, deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest. When pre-operative angioplasty is not feasible, a one-stage combined operation for ischaemic heart disease and advanced renal carcinoma with IVC extension can be performed safely.
