Anesthetic challenges in bilateral pheochromocytoma with history of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA): A case report and literature review

Abstract

Pheochromocytoma are catecholamine-producing neuroendocrine tumors that can be adrenal or extra-adrenal (paraganglioma) in origin. The mainstay of definitive therapy is surgical resection, and successful management depends on careful preoperative optimization, meticulous intraoperative and postoperative hemodynamic management.
