Pheochromocytoma in combination with severe aortic insufficiency: clinical case

Abstract

Pheochromocytoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor of the adrenal medulla with widespread cardiac complications. Dilation of the heart chambers can cause valve defects. At the same time, severe cardiac comorbid conditions that complicate the choice of treatment tactics for patients are not sufficiently described in the literature. A clinical case of pheochromocytoma in combination with severe aortic insufficiency in a man admitted to the endocrinology department is presented. In conditions of aortic insufficiency, the risk of surgical intervention is extremely high. After a thorough analysis of clinical and laboratory-instrumental data, the patient was recommended to have a right-sided laparoscopic adrenalectomy.
