Add-on therapy with parenteral prostacyclin analogues in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension: Insights from the COMPERA registry

Parenteral prostacyclin analogues (PPA) are recommended for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients at intermediate-high or high risk, yet supporting evidence remains limited.
