title: Reversal of cardiogenic shock after bilateral renal artery stenting.
abstract: Renal artery stenosis, which can occur with atherosclerotic disease or fibromuscular dysplasia, is estimated to be present in 25%-34% of patients undergoing cardiac catheterization. Evidence is still developing to better understand the clinical significance of renal artery stenosis and its pathophysiologic interplay with cardiovascular disease. We present a case of cardiogenic shock with dramatic improvement after bilateral renal artery stenting.
