| Abstract |
In this report, we describe the first successful case of transition from subcutaneous administration of treprostinil to selexipag in a patient with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), by evaluating hemodynamic changes and exercise tolerance. A 38-year-old female with idiopathic PAH (IPAH) had received initial triple combination therapy (macitentan PO, tadalafil PO, and treprostinil SC) and achieved excellent improvement in hemodynamics. Afterwards, due to the development of side effects from subcutaneous administration, we replaced treprostinil therapy with oral selexipag, resulting in stable hemodynamic parameters and exercise capacities. We report the first case of successful replacement of treprostinil (20.1 ng/kg/min) with selexipag (1600 μg BID) as a component of triple combination therapy, which provides incentive to perform a larger, prospective exchange study. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 October 2017.
All research outputs
#20,450,513
of 23,006,268 outputs
Outputs from BMC Pulmonary Medicine
#1,607
of 1,949 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#285,699
of 327,823 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Pulmonary Medicine
#46
of 54 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,006,268 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,949 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.4. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 327,823 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 54 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
