Diuretic therapy remains the most widely used therapy to achieve euvolemia. However, some patients experience fluid overload despite the use of high-dose diuretics and new strategies to overcome diuretic resistance are needed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Case Summary<\/jats:title><jats:p>We report an 85 years-old male patient admitted for decompensated HF with persistent tissue fluid overload (peripheral edema) for more than two weeks despite high dose of intravenous furosemide with the combination of other diuretics. At this point, we performed leg venous compression using elastic bandages for three days. After 72\u2005h, edema disappeared, and additional weight loss was achieved (1\u2005kg\/day). No side effects were observed and the patient was discharged home euvolemic.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Venous leg compression may be an alternative
