We report a 16-year-old man with severe heart failure due to idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH). The patient was initially treated with a combination of beraprost, a prostacyclin analog, and sarpogrelate, a serotonin receptor inhibitor. However, he was unresponsive to the treatment. We then changed the treatment to sildenafil, and his condition dramatically improved. Sildenafil has an immediate pulmonary vasodilator effect in patients already receiving vasodilators for IPAH.
我们报告了一名16岁因特发性肺动脉高压(IPAH)导致严重心力衰竭的男性患者。该患者最初接受了前列环素类似物贝前列素和5-羟色胺受体抑制剂沙格雷酯联合治疗。然而,他对该治疗无反应。随后我们将治疗改为西地那非,他的病情显著改善。西地那非对已接受IPAH血管扩张剂治疗的患者具有即时肺血管扩张作用。
