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.
Material And Methods:
The authors present a patient with congestive heart failure caused by a combination of coronary heart disease and bilateral renal artery stenosis. The patient developed acute kidney failure secondary to ACE inhibitor and angiotensin II antagonist treatment.
Results:
Mechanisms behind pulmonary oedema secondary to renovascular hypertension are discussed.
Interpretation:
Revascularisation is the treatment of choice for this patient category.
