Cutting the Gordian knot of diuretic resistance using continuous ultrafiltration in a Holt–Oram patient with decompensated heart failure and Eisenmenger syndrome: a case report
Our case depicts that continuous ultrafiltration without exceeding plasma refill rate allows an impaired right ventricle to maintain significant preload. This suggests that it might be considered for patients in whom a session of short classic ultrafiltration might have detrimental results regarding cardiac output.
