Hemodynamic instability during resection of pheochromocytoma in MEN versus non-MEN patients

Abstract

MEN2 patients with pheochromocytoma, despite their smaller tumors, do not distinguish themselves from non-MEN patients in terms of hypertensive episodes during pheochromocytoma resection. Therefore, pretreatment with α- and β-blockade remains the standard of care in MEN2-related as well as in non-MEN-related pheochromocytomas.
