May support ultrafiltration for refractory volume overload in decompensated HF; leaves open nephroprotective effects pending randomized trials.
Does ultrafiltration improve fluid removal compared to standard intravenous diuretics in patients with acute decompensated heart failure?
Ultrafiltration is a feasible and potentially more effective alternative to standard intravenous diuretics for managing volume overload in acute decompensated heart failure, though further research is needed on long-term impacts.
Mielniczuk et al. (2010) studied this question.
