We report a 51-year-old female with a history of a degenerated aortic
bioprosthesis and severe valvular dysfunction who was admitted for redo
valve surgery and unexpectedly developed acute flash pulmonary edema, a
dramatic form of cardiogenic pulmonary edema before coronary angiography
and was managed by timely and proper treatment.
