Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Observational description of Compliance for the daily Ventavis use via the Insight program in class III Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension patients

Trial purpose

This prospective, non-interventional, multi-center study documents observational data on subjects under routine treatment of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension, functional class III with inhaled Iloprost administered with I-Neb AAD (Adaptive Aerosol Delivery) device. The observation period for each subject covers a one year treatment period with inhaled Ventavis. For each subject, the investigator or a delegate collects data as defined in the case report form at an initial visit, routine follow-up visit at 6 months and final visit at 12 months.
