Pulmonary Vasodilator

A 46-year-old man who had undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) twice because of acute lymphoblastic leukemia with recurrence presented with dyspnea, leading to a diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) which was quickly and effectively treated with the PDE-5 inhibitor tadalafil. To our knowledge, PAH related to hematologic malignancies requiring HSCT is rarely reported. Importantly, the present case suggests that early diagnosis and treatment with a pulmonary vasodilator, such as tadalafil, can greatly decrease pulmonary vascular resistance in patients with severe PAH after HSCT and can then improve other symptoms. Accordingly, pulmonary vascular disease should be considered if respiratory symptoms develop following HSCT, because treatment with pulmonary vasodilator may lead to significant improvement in PAH.
