Abstract
A patient with refractory heart failure and anasarca underwent eight peritoneal dialyses during a 21-month period. Clinical response to the dialyses was excellent. To our knowledge, this is the first patient upon whom repeated peritoneal dialysis was used over a prolonged period of time for refractory heart failure.
