A rare case is reported of a 47-year-old patient who had residual tumour left in the stump of his left renal vein and inferior vena cava (IVC) after a left nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma, having previously had a right nephrectomy for a non-malignant disease. He underwent delayed excision of the residual renal tumour after seven months with a prosthetic graft replacement of the IVC. Five years later he developed a graft infection caused by a graft-enteric duodenal fistula. The infected graft was excised and the duodenum closed. The patient has subsequently undergone a successful renal transplantation despite a lack of major venous outflow and remains alive and well eight years after initial removal of the tumour from the IVC.
