Challenging case
Had an interesting case recently, wondering how others would have tackled it:
72 yo M with poorly controlled HTN, IDDM, morbidly obese (190kg), pAF, CAD s/p remote CABG complicated by ischemic CM (LVEF 25% w/ RWMAs), post-capillary pulmonary HTN (mPAP ~50, R heart dilated and mildly reduced fxn), and AS s/p TAVR now w/ severe prosthetic valve stenosis. ESRD on HD, however he is now progressively volume overloaded because he has been getting hypotensive during attempts at ultrafiltration...
