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
Abrupt onset pulmonary edema, that rapidly resolves (flash edema) may be due to renal artery stenosis. We describe two patients with renal artery stenosis who experienced a life-threatening episode of flash edema. Relief of the stenosis prevented recurrence of the flash edema.
Renal artery stenosis of the transplant kidney occurs in approximately 6% of renal allograft recipients. Severe bilateral renal artery stenosis and unilateral renal artery stenosis to a single functioning kidney have been described as causes of recurrent pulmonary edema in nontransplant patients
We describe a patient with a clinical presentation of moderate renal dysfunction, recurrent hospitalizations for congestive heart failure, and an episode of abrupt-onset pulmonary edema (flash pulmonary edema). Diagnostic angiography revealed triple-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD) and bilateral
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
OBJECTIVE
We report the prevalence of flash pulmonary edema in patients consecutively referred for balloon angioplasty of uni- or bilateral renal artery stenosis (PTRA), and describe the characteristics of this special fraction of the patients. We further report two unusual cases.
METHODS
Review of
Renal hypoperfusion from renal artery stenosis (RAS) activates the renin-angiotensin system, which in turn causes volume overload and hypertension. Atherosclerosis and fibromuscular dysplasia are the most common causes of renal artery stenosis. Recurrent flash pulmonary edema, also known as
BACKGROUND
Renal artery stenosis may present as acute pulmonary oedema and be misinterpreted as congestive heart failure. ACE inhibitors and angiotensin-II antagonists are widely used among patients with congestive heart failure and hypertension.
METHODS
The authors present a patient with congestive
Flash pulmonary edema secondary to renal artery stenosis is an unrecognized complication following cardiac surgery. We report a case and discuss issues surrounding its diagnosis and management.
Flash pulmonary edema (FPE) is a severe renovascular disease that leads to acute recurring pulmonary edema and acute systemic hypertension. Though rarely reported in the literature, its incidence is probably underestimated secondary to misdiagnosis, especially in patients with normal left
Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (RAS) is the most common secondary cause of hypertension, and often results in hypertension that is difficult to control. Atherosclerotic RAS may also result in chronic renal insufficiency, and although controversial, likely leads to end-stage renal failure in a
