The treatment of chronic pulmonary hypertension with prostacyclin in children is prone to severe complications due to mandatory long-term venous therapy. Inhaled iloprost has been evaluated in adult patients with good preliminary results. CASE REPORT: We report our experience of the use of aerosolized iloprost in an infant treated for pulmonary hypertension associated to a right ventricular failure, which occurred after a neonatal arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries. For nine months, hemodynamic and functional status improved and the quality of life was satisfactory at home. CONCLUSION: If further experiences and studies support this observation, aerosolized iloprost could be an alternative to prostacyclin venous therapy in treating children with chronic pulmonary hypertension.
