Compression Therapy of the Lower Limbs in Patients With Decompensated Heart Failure
Compression Therapy of the Lower Limbs in Patients With Decompensated Heart Failure and Predominant Systemic Tissue Congestion
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 15 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Randomized 1:1 multicenter double-blind clinical investigation evaluating the efficacy and safety of compression therapy of the lower limbs plus parenteral administration of diuretics vs. administration of parenteral diuretics alone (standard treatment) in patients with decompensated HF and predominantly systemic tissue congestion and absence of intravascular systemic congestion. Patients will be assigned to standard treatment (parenteral administration of furosemide) plus a non-compressive sham bandage, versus parenteral administration of furosemide plus lower-limb compression therapy. The active compression bandage will be maintained for at least 24 hours and up to a maximum of 72 hours. The dose of furosemide in all participants will be based on the clinical judgment of the responsible healthcare professional.
