title: [Aquapheresis, an innovative technique in cardiology].
abstract: Used in France for the last two years, aquapheresis is a technique to remove excess water from patients with heart failure resistant to diuretics. The therapy is delivered during the patient's hospitalisation in a cardiology intensive care unit to ensure optimal monitoring and the prevention of potential complications. A team from Grenoble shares its experience.
