ABSTRACT
The development of pulmonary arterial hypertension after bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a rare but serious complication. In this case report, we presented the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension in a 22-year-old woman who underwent BMT due to aplastic anemia. Her symptoms on admission included shortness of breath, palpitations and fatigue. Pulmonary hypertension was classiï¬ed with right heart catheterization as pul monary arterial hypertension. The patient's laboratory, echocardiographic and hemodynamic ï¬ndings improved with pulmonary arterial hypertension-speciï¬c treatment. Pul monary arterial hypertension should be considered in the diï¬er ential diagnosis of BMT patients with 'unexplained' hypoxemia or respiratory distress.
