Long-Term Experience With Implantable Infusion Pumps For Intravenous Treprostinil In Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension-Procedural Safety And System-Related Complications

Implantable pumps for intravenous treprostinil provide a promising option to overcome drawbacks of parenteral prostanoid administration with external pumps in pulmonary hypertension. We retrospectively analyzed 85 patients undergoing implantation in a single center since 2010. In our cohort, serious complications were rare, and flow rate increase over time warrants careful monitoring.
