Background: Adverse drug events (ADEs) for endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs) and prostacyclin-related drugs (PRDs) have been reported in clinical trials, but large-scale, real-world evaluations for respiratory, thoracic, and mediastinal disorders (RTMD) remain scarce.

Methods: A pharmacovigilance analysis of the FAERS database (Q1 2004~Q2 2024) used the reporting odds ratio (ROR) method for disproportionality analysis to assess the adverse drug events (ADEs) of ERAs and PRDs in pulmonary arterial hypertension, focusing on risks related to RTMD.

Results: Reports of ADEs for ERAs (bosentan, ambrisentan, and macitentan) were 15,286, 36795, and 17,497, respectively, and for PRDs (epoprostenol, treprostinil, iloprost, and selexipag) were 5,477, 57265, 3,247, and 5,504.

Background: Treprostinil is a prostacyclin analogue that is frequently used in the pediatric and adult population to treat pulmonary hypertension; however, it is not often a drug of choice for patients in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of treprostinil as a treatment for pulmonary hypertension of the neonate.

Data Sources: Electronic databases such as PubMed, CINAHL, and Embase were used for this literature review.

Current guidelines for managing pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in pregnancy recommend the use of PAH-specific medications, including phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, and prostacyclin analogs. However, there is limited consensus on the optimal agents and routes of administration during delivery. This case report describes a 24-year-old gravida 3 para 1 with Group I PAH, admitted at 29 weeks' gestation, for a planned cesarean delivery at 30 weeks gestation.

Inhaled treprostinil has shown to improve exercise capacity in patients with pulmonary hypertension-interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD). We evaluated the efficacy and determinants of favorable response to inhaled treprostinil at six months. METHODS: Of the 106 patients screened, 42 were eligible for this retrospective single-center study.
