title: Pheochromocytoma-induced cardiogenic shock rescued by percutaneous cardiopulmonary bypass system.
abstract: Pheochromocytoma is a rare cause of cardiogenic shock. Clinical management is directed at reducing the heart rate while maintaining blood pressure. However, medical treatment is often unsuccessful because of the high endogenous catecholamine level and low cardiac output. Percutaneous cardiopulmonary bypass system is a circulatory device that allows for safer use of heart-rate-reducing agents, which is advantageous when used early in the course of the cardiogenic shock induced by pheochromocytoma.
