We present a case of scleroderma complicated by severe pulmonary hypertension. The use of a three-drug (bosentan, iloprost, and sildenafil) approach contributed to significant improvement of both the clinical conditions and the pulmonary hemodynamics. Combining three pulmonary vasodilators with different mechanisms of action could benefit patients with severe pulmonary hypertension resistant to conventional therapy.
我们报告一例硬皮病合并严重肺动脉高压的病例。采用三种药物(波生坦、伊洛前列素和西地那非)联合治疗显著改善了临床状况和肺血流动力学。联合使用三种作用机制不同的肺血管扩张剂可能使对传统治疗耐药的严重肺动脉高压患者受益。
