A Patient With Symptomatic Pheochromocytoma and Very Severe Aortic Valve Stenosis
Preoperative management of a pheochromocytoma involves α-adrenergic receptor blockers and volume expansion followed by β-adrenergic receptor blockers and then adrenalectomy, which in the presence of very severe aortic valve stenosis would be challenging. We describe a patient with this rare combination who underwent pharmacotherapy followed by transcatheter aortic valve replacement and then adrenalectomy, culminating in a successful outcome for this patient.
