ABSTRACT
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 disease who later developed bilateral renal artery stenosis and presented with recurrent episodes of flash pulmonary edema. He was successfully treated with stenting of both renal arteries.
