Abstract

Abstract Inhaled treprostinil was approved recently for interstitial lung disease‐pulmonary hypertension; however, efficacy in “real‐world” populations is not known. We designed a protocol and report our experience evaluating 10 patients referred for therapy. Misdiagnosis at presentation was common; ultimately, three patients (30%) were prescribed drug. This protocol offers an opportunity to standardize longitudinal assessment of inhaled treprostinil in clinical practice.
