Heart complications after adrenal gland surgery for certain tumors
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at heart and blood vessel problems that may happen after surgery to remove the adrenal gland (adrenalectomy) for pheochromocytoma or non-secreting tumors. It aims to understand how common these complications are so doctors can better care for patients like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are having surgery to remove an adrenal gland because of a pheochromocytoma (a rare tumor that can cause high blood pressure) or because of a non-secreting tumor (one that doesn't produce excess hormones).
- You are not pregnant.
- Your surgery is not for other adrenal conditions like adrenal cancer, Cushing's syndrome, primary aldosteronism, or a tumor that has spread from elsewhere.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies whether it is safe to skip a specific pre-surgery blood pressure medicine (alpha-blocker) for people with normal blood pressure who have a pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma in one adrenal gland. It aims to see if fewer pre-op meds can still prevent risky blood pressure surges during surgery.
This study looks at how an accidentally found adrenal growth may affect heart and metabolic health, especially if it causes extra cortisol production. It may help explain which people are at higher risk and what monitoring or treatment could be useful.
This study tests a special blood pressure monitoring system during surgery to remove a pheochromocytoma, a rare tumor that can cause dangerous blood pressure spikes. The system aims to help doctors keep your blood pressure stable during the operation.
This study follows adults with a new adrenal diagnosis to learn how adrenal diseases behave over time. It may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve future care.
This study looks at how different types of adrenal tumors might affect the heart during and after surgery. It aims to help doctors understand and reduce the risk of heart injury in patients having these tumors removed.
This trial studies how adrenal hormone tumor diseases should be diagnosed, treated, and followed over time. It may help people get more precise care and better prediction of outcomes, but it has specific health and medication requirements.
