Summary

OBJECTIVE: The present study investigated outcomes in patients with vasoplegia after cardiac surgery treated with angiotensin II plus standard-of-care vasopressors. Vasoplegia is a common complication in cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Approximately 250,000 cardiac surgeries with cardiopulmonary bypass are performed in the United States annually, with vasoplegia occurring in 20%to-27% of patients. DESIGN: Post-hoc analysis of the Angiotensin II for the Treatment of High-Output Shock (ATHOS-3) study. SETTING: Multicenter, multinational study. PARTICIPANTS: Sixteen patients with vasoplegia after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass were enrolled. INTERVENTIONS: Angiotensin II plus standard-of-care vasopressors (n
