In this report, we present 2 cases of severe congestive heart failure and mild renal insufficiency in patients who underwent continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) after stabilization using the extracorporeal ultrafiltration method (ECUM). Long-term good control of congestive heart failure was achieved following the institution of CAPD. Case 1, a 58-year-old woman with rheumatic arthritis and diabetes mellitus had anteroseptal myocardial infarction at the age of 52. And case 2, a 68-year-old man, who underwent coronary artery bypass surgery at the age of 66 and had extensive anterior infarction after the operation. They were admitted to the hospital with dyspnea due to congestive heart failure. In both cases, systolic cardiac function was severely impaired and mild renal insufficiency was present at the time of hospitalization. After admission, symptomatic relief was not obtained by conventional therapies and symptoms of congestive heart failure worsened until the patients suffered from severe respiratory distress even at rest. ECUM was then instituted to remove excess fluid and clinical improvement was achieved. After the initiation of ECUM, responsiveness to diuretics was not restored, and the procedure was necessary every day or every other day for the prevention of symptoms due to fluid overload. About 20 days after the initiation of ECUM, CAPD was begun for the long-term control of congestive heart failure and renal failure, and for the purpose of hospital discharge. Good control of heart failure was achieved after the initiation of CAPD.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
