Brief Summary

This study is to investigate the efficacy, safety, and Pharmacokinetics (PK) of Inhaled Iloprost (Ventavis) therapy in Japanese pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients in Main Treatment Phase (12 weeks) and to investigate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of longterm Inhaled Iloprost (Ventavis) therapy in Japanese PAH patients in Extension Phase.
