Abstract

Recombinant angiotensin II is an emerging drug therapy for refractory hypotension. Its use is relevant to patients with disruption of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system denoted by elevated direct renin levels. We present a child that responded to recombinant angiotensin II in the setting of right ventricular hypertension and multi-organism septic shock.
