To evaluate the role of arachidonate metabolites in regulating pulmonary vascular tone, we performed multiple studies on a 17-month-old girl with idiopathic pulmonary hypertension, systemic arterial hypoxemia (due to ventilation-perfusion mismatching), and an elevated thromboxane A2(TXA2) to prostacyclin (PGI2) ratio due to increased TXA2(measured as their stable metabolites, TXB2and 6-keto-PGF1α, respectively). Intravenous infusions of PGI2reduced mean pulmonary arterial pressure (from 80 to 47 mmHg), increased cardiac output (from 3.43 to 3.97 L/min), increased systemic arterial oxygen saturation (from 60 to 72 percent), and decreased the TXB2to 6-keto-PGF1αratio (from 5.9 to 0.2); mean systemic arterial pressure was unchanged. Pharmacologically decreasing the TXB2to 6-keto-PGF1αratio with administration of nifedipine or diltiazem also reduced pulmonary hypertension and increased systemic arterial oxygen saturation in this patient. Nifedipine and diltiazem decreased the ratio by decreasing TXB2. Prostacyclin decreased the ratio by increasing 6-keto-PGF1α. These studies support the hypothesis that the balance between TXA2and PGI2is an important influence on pulmonary vascular tone.
