Abstract
Twelve patients with severe pulmonary hypertension (PH) who had a pulmonary artery-to-descending aorta (Potts) shunt were treated with the novel PH drug sotatercept for an average of 12 months. Overall, the group showed significant improvement in a number of clinical parameters with no serious complications. Thus, a trial of sotatercept could be considered prior to an invasive intervention in patients with severe PH. Similarly, it may also be useful in patients with Eisenmenger-like physiology.
