We report a successful off pump coronary artery bypass case in a patient with a pre‐operatively undiagnosed pheochromocytoma. The patient had no signs of ischemia intra‐ or post‐operatively due to aggressive antihypertensive treatment. We would also like to emphasize the importance of using an adequate stabilizing device in order to safely perform anastomoses in a situation like this.
