Long-term safety and outcome of intravenous treprostinil via an implanted pump in pulmonary hypertension

Our data suggest that intravenous treprostinil via the LENUS Pro pump in advanced PH is associated with a very low risk of bloodstream infections, but other serious adverse events may occur. Therefore, this therapy needs standardization and should be offered in specialized PH centers only. Further technical advances of the pump system and prospective studies are needed.
