Concomitant off-pump myocardial revascularization and pheochromocytoma resection

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.
