Three patients with intractable congestive heart failure (CHF) resistant to
all other therapy were treated for three, five and six months by continuous
ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). They lost eight to II kg in weight and
had a marked improvement in symptoms of heart failure. Recurrent peritonitis
precluded the continuation of CAPD and all three patients died within two
weeks of stopping the treatment.
