  • Title: Long-term therapy for heart failure with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis.
    Author: McKinnie JJ, Bourgeois RJ, Husserl FE.
    Journal: Arch Intern Med; 1985 Jun; 145(6):1128-9. PubMed ID: 4004439.
    Abstract:
    This article reports the treatment with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis of a patient with intractable congestive heart failure secondary to an ischemic cardiomyopathy. Although the use of peritoneal dialysis to treat refractory heart failure is not new, the advent of an effective continuous peritoneal dialysis system has allowed its use over prolonged periods of time. The two-year treatment interval described herein represents the longest reported application of this technique, to the best of our knowledge.
