This case study offers valuable insights into the potential benefits and challenges of using PAH drugs to manage Eisenmenger syndrome.

PAH Drugs: A Potential Oasis in the Desert of Eisenmenger Syndrome

This case study suggests that PAH drugs may be beneficial for some patients with Eisenmenger syndrome, although their use should be approached with caution due to potential side effects. The patient in this case experienced clinical improvement after receiving treatment with bosentan, a PAH drug. This highlights the potential of PAH drugs for managing Eisenmenger syndrome, but the need for careful monitoring and individualized treatment plans remains critical.
