Triple combination therapy is suggested in current pulmonary arterial hypertension guidelines in case of unsatisfactory treatment with oral double combination therapy. However, there is a lack of evidence concerning some of the drug combinations currently employed. We demonstrate the clinical and hemodynamical benefits of inhaled iloprost as third add-on therapy in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension.
