Flash Pulmonary Edema in a Patient With Unilateral Renal Artery Stenosis and Bilateral Functioning Kidneys
نویسندگان
چکیده
Flash pulmonary edema typically exhibits sudden onset and resolves rapidly. It generally is associated with bilateral renal artery stenosis or unilateral stenosis in conjunction with a single functional kidney. We describe a patient who presented with flash pulmonary edema treated by percutaneous therapy with stent implantation. Our case is unique in that the flash pulmonary edema occurred in the setting of unilateral renal artery stenosis with bilateral functioning kidneys.

Emergent Unilateral Renal Artery Stenting for Treatment of Flash Pulmonary Edema: Fact or Fiction?
Flash pulmonary edema is characteristically sudden in onset with rapid resolution once appropriate therapy has been instituted (Messerli et al., 2011). Acute increase of left ventricular (LV) end diastolic pressure is the usual cause of sudden decompensated cardiac failure in this patient population. Presence of bilateral renal artery stenosis or unilateral stenosis in combination with a single...
متن کاملFlash pulmonary edema: A rare cause and possible mechanisms
Flash pulmonary edema frequently develop in case of bilateral renal artery stenosis and unilateral renal artery stenosis with functional solitary kidney. In some rare cases, unilateral renal artery stenosis with bilaterally functional kidneys may also lead to flash pulmonary edema. Here, we present a case of flash pulmonary edema caused by accessory renal artery stenosis. To our knowledge, it i...
متن کاملBilateral renal artery stenosis presenting as flash pulmonary edema.
Flash pulmonary edema is a condition characterized by sudden and recurrent episodes of dyspnea at rest resulting from acute pulmonary venous congestion in the presence of normal or well-preserved LV systolic function. This is usually associated with bilateral renal artery stenosis or stenosis of a single surviving kidney. We report here a case of a 58-year-old man, a patient of coronary artery ...

Six patients with mitral stenosis complicated by renal artery embolism studied prospectively are presented.

متن کاملNephrotic syndrome and recurrent pulmonary oedema in bilateral atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis: resolution following renal angioplasty and stenting.
Hypertension and episodic pulmonary oedema are known complications of bilateral renovascular disease. However, significant proteinuria has not been reported in this setting. We describe a patient who presented with recurrent pulmonary oedema and nephrotic syndrome, and was found to have bilateral renal artery stenosis. Percutaneous angioplasty and stenting led to a complete resolution of both, ...
