How Can IPAH Be Managed During Pregnancy?

If a woman with IPAH decides to proceed with pregnancy, a multidisciplinary team including a gynecologist, cardiologist, and pulmonologist should manage her care. Close monitoring of cardiac function and pulmonary pressures is essential. Medications such as prostacyclin analogs and sildenafil may be continued under strict medical supervision, while others, like endothelin receptor antagonists, should be avoided due to their teratogenicity.
