Abstract

In 1988 T. G. Pickering et al. described the development of pulmonary oedema in patients with bilateral renal artery stenosis. The authors reported a series of 11 hypertensive patients with bilateral RAS, who presented with a history of multiple episodes of acute heart failure. This review examines the literature which discusses the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of patients with Pickering syndrome.
