Concomitant elective resection of pheochromocytoma and repair of aortic abdominal aneurysm.

Perioperative management of a patient with ischemic heart disease with coexisting abdominal aortic aneurysm and pheochromocytoma creates a difficult management dilemma, and surgical intervention in these patients carries a significant risk. The state of catecholamine excess and various other coexisting factors can lead to simultaneous occurrence of abdominal aortic aneurysm and pheocromocytoma. The purpose of this report is to present an integrated approach to the management of concomitant abdominal aortic aneurysm and pheochromocytoma, where a combined surgical approach in addressing these two lesions was preferable due to patient comorbidities and surgical implications without significant complication.
