  • Title: Comparison of acute hemodynamic effects of aerosolized and intravenous iloprost in secondary pulmonary hypertension in children with congenital heart disease.
    Author: Hallioglu O, Dilber E, Celiker A.
    Journal: Am J Cardiol; 2003 Oct 15; 92(8):1007-9. PubMed ID: 14556887.
    Abstract:
    Both aerosolized and intravenous infusion of iloprost caused a significant decrease in mean pulmonary artery pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance. Although intravenous infusion caused a large decrease in mean systemic arterial pressure, this was only slightly affected by aerosolized iloprost. Aerosolized iloprost caused a significant decrease in the pulmonary-to-systemic vascular resistance ratio; however, intravenous infusion did not cause a prominent decrease in this ratio.
