Key result
Administration of vasopressors successfully resuscitated a 61-year-old male who developed vasoplegic syndrome after redo open-heart surgery, leading to an uneventful recovery.
Case Report (n=1)
Vasoplegic syndrome after cardiopulmonary bypass for redo valve surgery can be successfully managed with vasopressors.
Highlights VS risk after redo valve surgery; hypothesis-generating for prevention strategies in high-risk bypass cases.
Vasoplegic syndrome (VS) is characterized by low systemic vascular resistance paired with relatively preserved cardiac output that may result in increased morbidity and mortality rate after open-heart surgery utilizing cardiopulmonary bypass. We report a case of a 61-year-old male who underwent redo open-heart surgery due to a paravalvular leak of the previous implanted mitral bioprosthesis and severe tricuspid regurgitation. The patient experienced the VS in the intensive care unit after the operation. He was resuscitated by vasopressors and recovered uneventfully.
