This was a prospective observational study of 19 patients with severe
bilateral leg edema resistant to parenteral diuretic therapy. Clinically meaningful results were reported leading the author to conclude that the combination of compression therapy with hypersaline diuretics could be
considered as a valuable option for refractory
cases of limb edema in advanced disease.
