Portopulmonary hypertension (POPH) is a rare complication of portal hypertension. Prostanoids have been shown to be effective in the treatment of POPH and have been used as a bridge to liver transplantation. More recently, case series revealed beneficial effects of both the dual endothelin receptor antagonist bosentan and the phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor sildenafil. The efficacy of sitaxentan, a selective endothelin receptor A (ERA) antagonist in the reversal of POPH, is still unclear. We report a case of POPH that was successfully treated with oral sitaxentan. Haemodynamic and symptomatic improvements were maintained after a 12-week long-term treatment period. Additionally, hepatic vein pressure gradient significantly decreased from 12 mmHg to 8 mm after treatment with sitaxentan. This is the first reported case of a successful therapy with a selective ERA antagonist in a patient suffering from POPH. Oral sitaxentan therapy might be a promising new option for patients suffering from POPH.
