Selexipag use for paediatric pulmonary hypertension: a single centre report focussed on congenital heart disease patients.

Pulmonary hypertension is a rare and complex disease with poor prognosis. Paediatric cases are infrequent and usually associated with congenital heart disease. Management is problematical due to the limited therapy available and poor evidence of efficacy. Recently a new medication, selexipag (UptraviR), a prostacyclin receptor agonist, has been approved for the treatment of pulmonary artery hypertension in adults. We report our experience using selexipag in four paediatric patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with congenital heart disease.
