Abstract
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 severe renal artery stenosis. This patient underwent successful bilateral renal artery stent implantation with marked improvement in his functional class without further recurrence of pulmonary edema.
