  • Title: [A rare cause of cardiogenic shock treated by extracorporeal life support: catecholamine secreting paraganglioma].
    Author: Xeridat F, Vidal V, Puech JB, Gariboldi V, Kerbaul F.
    Journal: Ann Fr Anesth Reanim; 2011 Apr; 30(4):363-5. PubMed ID: 21411267.
    Abstract:
    Phaeochromocytoma and paraganglioma are chromaffine tumours secreting catecholamines. They are usually revealed by a paroxystic hypertensive crisis associated with headaches, palpitation and sweats. We reported a case of a young patient presenting a state of life threatening cardiogenic shock as unusual revelation of this tumour, requiring the implementation of an extracorporeal life support until myocardial recovery.
