Study of angiotensin II for low blood pressure after heart surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a drug called angiotensin II for patients whose blood pressure stays dangerously low after heart surgery. The drug may help raise blood pressure so the body gets enough blood flow.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You had heart surgery that used a heart-lung machine.
- Your blood pressure is very low (below 65 mmHg) despite standard treatment.
- You are not currently taking ACE inhibitors or ARBs for blood pressure.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are not a current smoker.
- You do not have severe bleeding, burns covering more than 20% of your body, or certain other serious conditions.

This trial tests whether giving a medicine called angiotensin II during heart surgery can help prevent acute kidney injury (a sudden drop in kidney function). It is for adults having certain types of heart surgery who have a higher risk of kidney problems.
This study looks at how a blood-pressure hormone system (RAAS) changes during coronary artery bypass surgery. It may help researchers understand better how to manage blood pressure and heart stress around the time of surgery.
This study tests an IV medicine called angiotensin II (Giapreza) to raise blood pressure in children who are very sick and not responding to standard treatments. It aims to see if this medicine can help stabilize blood pressure and improve outcomes.
This trial tests a medicine called angiotensin II to see how well it helps people whose blood pressure stays dangerously low after standard treatments for vasoplegic shock, a condition where blood vessels relax too much. If it works, it might help raise blood pressure and improve blood flow to vital organs.
This trial tests if starting Angiotensin II early, instead of other blood pressure medications, can help heart surgery patients maintain safe blood pressure. It may be an option if you have low blood pressure after surgery despite receiving fluids.
This trial tests a drug called angiotensin II for people in the emergency room who need a specific dose of norepinephrine (a medicine to raise blood pressure) and are also getting antibiotics. The goal is to see if giving angiotensin II early can help stabilize blood pressure.
