  • Title: Concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting and adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma.
    Author: Nielson DH, Tomasello DN, Brennan EJ, Chen C.
    Journal: J Card Surg; 1995 Mar; 10(2):179-83. PubMed ID: 7772882.
    Abstract:
    We report the first case of concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma. Which lesion to correct first and staging of the corrective procedures are highly controversial issues. Issues concerning pre- and intraoperative control of hemodynamic instability from catecholamine release are discussed. Preoperative alpha and beta blockade permitted excellent hemodynamic control in the operating room. Operative and postoperative courses were uneventful and the patient had complete resolution of his angina and hypertension. We conclude that concomitant CABG and adrenalectomy is the preferred approach when pheochromocytoma and symptomatic coronary artery atherosclerosis coexist.
