    AbstractAngiotensin II is a novel vasopressor recently approved for the treatment of vasodilatory shock. We describe a case in which Angiotensin II was used to treat post-cardiopulmonary bypass vasoplegic syndrome in a patient who was refractory to standard vasopressors and other rescue therapies. Despite requiring high-dose vasopressors, the patient was extubated within 24 hours and has met key quality metrics defined by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.Copyright © 2019 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
