Abstract
Eisenmenger syndrome represents a complex and severe form of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) associated with congenital heart disease. Sotatercept, a first-in-class activin-signaling inhibitor, offers a novel therapeutic approach in the treatment of PAH, and has emerged as a promising therapeutic agent. However, patients with Eisenmenger syndrome were not included in its pivotal trials. Therefore, data regarding its effect in this patient cohort is lacking. We present two cases of patients with Eisenmenger syndrome treated with sotatercept. Sotatercept improved the subjective and objective exercise capacity in both patients without any significant adverse side effects.
