Abstract
Pickering's syndrome is a clinical entity described in 1988 that consists of the presentation of recurrent and predominantly nocturnal acute flash pulmonary oedema and arterial hypertension secondary to bilateral renal artery stenosis or unilateral in single-kidney patients. We describe the case of a 74-year-old man who, after percutaneous exclusion treatment of an aortic infrarenal aneurysm, developed Pickering syndrome due to haemodynamic obstruction of the left renal artery because of the aortic endoprosthesis; with satisfactory clinical evolution after revascularization.
