A Multi-Institutional Study in patients with PAH
RAPID TRANSTION FROM INHALED ILOPROST TO INHAED TREPROSTINIL IN PAH

We tested the feasibility and safely of the rapid transition from inhaled iloprost (6-9 times per day) to inhaled treprostinil (4 times per day) and therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension. In 69 of 73 patients, treated at 9 institutions, the switch was well tolerated and demonstrated improved patient satisfaction, and, over 12 weeks, an improvement in exercise capacity, probably due to improved compliance.
