To the best of our knowledge, we report the first selective renal angiogram performed in Nigeria. The patient presented with sudden-onset shortness of breath, elevated blood pressure, flash pulmonary edema, and left ventricular systolic dysfunction and was eventually found to have multi-vessel coronary artery disease, managed surgically with coronary artery bypass grafting. This report illustrates the technique of performing selective renal angiogram, particularly in cases of suspected renal artery stenosis, and underscores the significance of a multidisciplinary approach in optimizing patient outcomes.
据我们所知,我们报道了在尼日利亚进行的首例选择性肾血管造影。该患者表现为突发呼吸急促、血压升高、急性肺水肿和左心室收缩功能障碍,最终被发现患有多支冠状动脉疾病,通过冠状动脉搭桥手术进行治疗。本报告阐述了进行选择性肾血管造影的技术,特别是在疑似肾动脉狭窄的病例中,并强调了多学科方法在优化患者治疗效果方面的重要性。
