title: Rapid onset pulmonary edema (flash edema) in renal artery stenosis.
abstract: Abrupt onset pulmonary edema, that rapidly resolves (flash edema) may be due to renal artery stenosis. We describe two patients with renal artery stenosis who experienced a life-threatening episode of flash edema. Relief of the stenosis prevented recurrence of the flash edema.
