Part I:
This part of the study is designed to demonstrate the dose equivalence between off-label aerosolized epoprostenol and VentaProst using a patient's hemodynamic parameters.
Part II:
This part of the study is designed to establish a dose response relationship of VentaProst to hemodynamic effect by dose escalation in patients who have had cardiac surgery with CPB.
