Percutaneous revascularization of occluded renal arteries in the setting of acute renal failure

Vasc Med. 2009 Nov;14(4):365-9. doi: 10.1177/1358863X09103200.

Abstract

We report the case of a 60-year-old patient with acute renal failure and occluded bilateral renal arteries presenting with acute pulmonary edema and non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. The patient required renal replacement therapy with hemodialysis and was subsequently successfully treated with bilateral renal artery stent placement. Marked improvement in renal function was noted within 1 week with freedom from the need for renal replacement therapy at 4 months of follow-up.
