Abstract

From March 2018 to March 2019, we performed on 20 patients. There was no in-hospital mortality or major postoperative complication. Preoperative preparation measures include appropriate preoperative multimodality imaging, with emphasis on the vascular anatomy of the tumor. With adequate preoperative team planning, a safe anesthesiological and surgical strategy can be accomplished.
