Background: Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) results from non-resolving pulmonary thromboemboli that are resistant to plasmatic anticoagulation. Because of a secondary pulmonary arteriopathy accompanying major vessel obstruction, the disorder may be a target for vasodilator therapy. Objectives: In an open-label uncontrolled study, we investigated the prostacyclin analog treprostinil given s.c. in patients with severe inoperable CTEPH. Methods: Between September 1999 and September 2005, 25 patients were included if their World Health Organization (WHO) functional class was III or IV, if their six-minute walking distance (6-MWD)
