Summary

This study tests if a drug called Angiotensin II can help control blood pressure during liver transplant surgery, reducing the need for other strong blood pressure medicines. About 50 adults with severe liver disease who are already on a blood pressure drug during surgery will receive either Angiotensin II or a placebo. The goal is to see if this approach leads to safer and more stable surgery.
