An 82-year-old woman with a remote tracheostomy due to vocal cord paralysis and long-standing erosive, seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) well controlled with methotrexate sought treatment at the ED with 1 month of dyspnea, chest tightness, and cough productive of blood-tinged sputum. She had been treated unsuccessfully as an outpatient with multiple courses of antibiotics. She did not smoke or drink alcohol and had no recent travel outside the country. Given concern for airway compromise, she was admitted to the hospital.

Group 5 pulmonary hypertension (PH) encompasses diverse diseases, with a few cases linking it to T-cell large granular lymphocytic (LGL) leukemia. We report a case of a 76-year-old woman, diagnosed with LGL leukemia and concomitant PH, treated with oral triple pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) therapy. She initially presented with dyspnea on exertion; evaluation revealed severe precapillary PH. Implementing cyclophosphamide for leukemia along with tadalafil and macitentan for PH led to sustained symptomatic and hemodynamic improvement for over 3 years. At that time, deterioration in PH prompted the addition of selexipag, resulting in sustained clinical improvement for an additional 5 years. This case exemplifies the potential for sustained benefits of PAH therapy in leukemia-associated PH and highlights the need for continued research on the mechanistic relationship between LGL leukemia and PH, with the hope of identifying new management strategies.

Vasopressor administration at an appropriate time is crucial, but the optimal timing remains controversial.

Reintubation is associated with higher risk of mortality. There is no clear evidence on the best spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) method to reduce the risk of reintubation.
