ABSTRACT Pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (PLCH) frequently complicated by pulmonary hypertension (PH), which markedly worsens prognosis. We retrospectively reviewed three institutional PLCH‐PH cases treated with off‐label Sotatercept added to background triple therapy and performed a systematic review of published PLCH‐PH reports (PubMed/Embase

Subcutaneous Treprostinil in PH Associated With Left Heart Disease or Chronic Lung Disease
ABSTRACT Pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with left heart disease (LHD‐PH) and pulmonary hypertension associated with chronic lung disease (CLD‐PH) are the most common PH subtypes but lack effective treatments. In a prospective cohort study, 90 patients (39 LHD‐PH, 51 CLD‐PH) with severe disease [pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) > 5 Wood units

Endoscopic repair can be a viable, less invasive alternative to surgical repair, which is associated with a substantial degree of surgical risks. ABSTRACT Empyema and Boerhaave syndrome are both life‐threatening conditions. We present
