Abstract
An adolescent girl with a long-standing history of pulmonary arterial hypertension experienced severe clinical decompensation after starting to use e-cigarettes. A combination of e-cigarette cessation, atrial septostomy, increasing treprostinil, and initiation of sotatercept led to clinical improvement. Her new baseline was improved over her pre-e-cigarette baseline.
