  • Efficacy and Safety of Perioperative Angiotensin II Versus Phenylephrine as a First‐Line Continuous Infusion Vasopressor in Kidney Transplant Recipients Lyra P. Beltran Jamie Benken Jonathan Jou Enrico Benedetti Hokuto Nishioka Enas Alamreia Rachel M. Belcher Scott T. Benken Clinical Transplantation ABSTRACTIntroductionAngiotensin II (ATII) maintains blood pressure via RAAS with a beneficial adverse effect profile versus catecholamines and phenylephrine. Head‐to‐head data comparing ATII to phenylephrine are lacking regarding renal allograft function, hemodynamic efficacy, and safety within the perioperative period of kidney transplantation.MethodsThis single‐center, retrospective study included adult kidney transplant recipients who received continuous infusions of ATII or phenylephrine within a 24‐h perioperative period as a first‐line vasopressor according to an institutional algorithm. The primary endpoint was allograft function. Secondary endpoints were hemodynamic efficacy and adverse effects.ResultsAmong 105 patients, there was no significant difference in IGF (p = 0.545), SGF (p = 0.557), or DGF (p = 0.878) between patient cohorts. In the 34 patients with cold ischemia time (CIT) > 14‐h, IGF was higher (p = 0.013) and DGF (p = 0.045) was lower in the ATII cohort versus phenylephrine. In all patients, ATII was associated with a decreased need for additional vasopressor agents (p < 0.001). Adverse effect profiles were similar between cohorts (p > 0.05).ConclusionAmong kidney transplant recipients, ATII may be a suitable first‐line alternative compared with phenylephrine in the perioperative period for hypotension management with a reduced need for additional vasopressor support. Allograft benefits were observed in patients with prolonged CIT. 10.1111/ctr.15432 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/
