title: [Clinical experience with alpha blockers and calcium antagonists in the perioperative treatment of pheochromocytoma].
abstract: This study aims to value the efficacy of the association between alpha-blockers and calcium channel-blockers, administered per os, in the reduction of preoperative preparation in patients with phaeochromocytoma and the calcium channel-blockers utility when are administered e.v. in the control of development of arterial paroxysmal hypertension during surgical manipulations. The trial had been conducted on 5 patients which have undergone the operation, before the operation we administered per os nifedipine and phonoxybenzamine for 8 days and during the operation we administered diltiazem e.v. The association between alpha-blockers and calcium-blockers per os, has reduced the preparation stage and has controlled the pressure parameters during the preoperative treatment. When we utilized diltiazem during the operation, we haven't note a good hemodynamic stability; these results are opposed to Tokioka's. Calcium channel-blockers and alpha-blockers seem to be a good therapy in the preoperative preparation of patients with phaeochromocytomas and they seem to be able to take fastly the standard of preoperative preparation.
