Laparoscopic adrenalectomy of pheochromocytoma following management of severe aortic stenosis with transcatheter aortic valve replacement under monitored anesthesia care sedation: a case report
Management of a patient with an active pheochromocytoma and severe aortic stenosis remains controversial. Adrenalectomy for a pheochromocytoma poses a high risk for stroke, hypertensive emergency, and mortalit...

Perioperative Management of Pheochromocytoma Resection in a Patient With Severe Aortic Stenosis
PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA IS A rare catecholamine-secreting tumor composed of chromaffin tissue arising from the adrenal medulla. Surgical resection is a high-risk procedure and remains a clinical challenge for anesthesiologists and surgeons. There is potential for massive and sudden changes in catecholamine release resulting in significant hemodynamic effects, which in turn can lead to devastating cardiac and neurologic complications such as myocardial infarction, stroke, or death. Advances in medical management and anesthetic and surgical techniques have led to improved surgical outcomes.
