Surgical management of patients with coexisting ischemic heart disease and
pheochromocytoma remains challenging. We present one such case in which hyb
rid myocardial revascularization (angioplasty with stenting and off-pump co
ronary artery bypass grafting) and resection of pheochromocytoma were under
taken. Unusual features included simultaneous coronary artery surgery and t
umor resection and, in particular, coronary artery surgery being performed
without cardiopulmonary bypass. (C) 2001 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeon
