Improvement of left ventricular filling and pulmonary artery pressure following unilateral renal artery total occlusion stenting in a patient with recurrent congestive heart failure complicated by renovascular hypertension and renal failure

چکیده
Recurrent congestive heart failure related to renal artery disease is an important clinical entity that is typically observed in bilateral renal artery stenosis or solitary functioning kidney. However, the relationship between heart failure and unilateral renal artery disease, especially that with total occlusion, remains unclear. We report a successful management by unilateral renal artery total occlusion stenting with an evidence of improvement of left ventricular filling and pulmonary artery pressure in case of a patient suffering from medical therapy resistant recurrent congestive heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

One of the clinical manifestations of renovascular hypertension (RVH) may be a recurrent pulmonary oedema both in the absence or in the presence of systolic left ventricular dysfunction. This type of pulmonary oedema characterized as "flash" pulmonary oedema is ascribed to elevated angiotensin II concentrations with consequent hypertension as well as to volume overload resulting from decreased ...

The causes leading to the exacerbation of preexisting chronic heart failure can be various. Renal artery stenosis is an important cause of renal dysfunction, and can lead to worsening of heart failure and increased mortality. We present a 49-year old male patient after acute myocardial infarction, heart failure with left ventricle ejection fraction of 20%, permanent atrial flutter, peripheral v...
