Continuous inhaled iloprost in a neonate with d-transposition of the great arteries and severe pulmonary arterial hypertension
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 July 2015
Abstract
This report describes the case of a neonate with d-transposition of the great arteries and severe pulmonary arterial hypertension stabilised in the post-operative period with continuous iloprost nebulisation. To our knowledge, this is the first documented method of treating post-operative severe pulmonary arterial hypertension with continuous inhaled iloprost in a patient with complex CHD. We found this method of delivering the drug very effective in stabilising haemodynamic swings in the setting of severe pulmonary arterial hypertension.
