We submit a case of a young patient with known severe left ventricular (LV)
systolic impairment who presented with recurrent flash pulmonary oedema (FPO)
requiring multiple high-dependency care admissions. Despite extensive
optimisation of his underlying heart failure, the presentations remained
frequent. Investigations for alternative diagnosis were not approached due to the
presence of LV impairment and compliance being questioned. However, deteriorating
renal function prompted further investigation with multiple imaging modalities,
and an effective diagnosis of bilateral renal artery stenosis secondary to an
aortoiliac thrombus was made. At the point of diagnosis, it was felt that rescue
of renal function was unfeasible and thus the patient was started on
anticoagulation, with initiation of peritoneal dialysis planned. This case
highlights the importance of considering alternative diagnoses for the
presentation of FPO even in the presence of LV impairment. If this patient had
received a prompter diagnosis it is possible that the outcome would have been
different.
