A 16 year-old male, who had marked hypertension and complained of palpitation, hyperhidrosis, headache and weight-loss, was diagnosed as atrial septal defect with pheochromocytoma.
The first operation was performed for tumor on September 3, 1981.
The hemodynamic change was recorded through the operation.
The total systemic peripheral resistance and the total pulmonary resistance were improved after surgery. The systemic and pulmonary blood pressure were also decreased to normal level after surgery, although pulmonary arterial flow was increased. On one hundred and third day after this operation, radical correction for the cardiac malformation was performed. Operative and postoperative course were uneventful and the patient is free from all untoward complaints at this moment. Blood or urine catecholamine levels have also improved and are within normal limits.
