The use of high doses of catecholamines is common but has potential adverse effects. Glibenclamide, a KATP blocker, seems to attenuate vasoplegia in different animal models of septic shock. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the impact of Glibenclamide on the vasoplegic syndrome after cardiopulmonary bypass in a porcine model. In this experimental study, 20 landrace pigs were randomized into two groups and examined: In the control group, standard medical therapy, including norepinephrine, was used, and in the study group standard medical therapy plus additional Glibenclamide was administered. Following general anesthesia, prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic cross-clamping was performed. In the study group, Glibenclamide was administered 45 min after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass. The dosage used was 10 mg\/kg as a bolus, followed by a continuous infusion of 10 mg\/kg\/h. Hemodynamic and laboratory measurements were performed. Glibenclamide had a relevant effect on circulatory parameters. With increasing vascular resistance and blood pressure, norepinephrine was able to be reduced. While the heart rate dropped to physiological levels, the cardiac index decreased as well. The results lead to the conclusion that Glibenclamide was able to break through vasoplegic syndrome and could therefore serve as a potent drug to stabilize patients after cardiac surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms26094040","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T11:44:52Z","timestamp":1745495092000},"page":"4040","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Glibenclamide Serves as a Potent Vasopressor to Treat Vasoplegia After Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Reperfusion in a Porcine Model"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2818-9047","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andreas","family":"Winter","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, University Hospital Frankfurt, Goethe University, 60629 Frankfurt am Main, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-4989-5998","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pascal","family":"Nepper","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, University Hospital Frankfurt, Goethe University, 60629 Frankfurt am Main, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4562-1615","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcus","family":"Hermann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, University Hospital Frankfurt, Goethe University, 60629 Frankfurt am Main, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Franziska","family":"Bayer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Central Research Unit, Goethe University Frankfurt, 60629 Frankfurt am Main, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephanie","family":"Riess","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, University Hospital Frankfurt, Goethe University, 60629 Frankfurt am Main, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9819-9382","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Razan","family":"Salem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, University Hospital Frankfurt, Goethe University, 60629 Frankfurt am Main, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3578-6501","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jan","family":"Hlavicka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, University Hospital Frankfurt, Goethe University, 60629 Frankfurt am Main, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anatol","family":"Prinzing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, University Hospital Frankfurt, Goethe University, 60629 Frankfurt am Main, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Florian","family":"Hecker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, University Hospital Frankfurt, Goethe University, 60629 Frankfurt am Main, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2366-0880","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tomas","family":"Holubec","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, University Hospital Frankfurt, Goethe University, 60629 Frankfurt am Main, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kai","family":"Zacharowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, Intensive Care Medicine and Pain Therapy, University Hospital Frankfurt, Goethe University, 60629 Frankfurt am Main, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Walther","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, University Hospital Frankfurt, Goethe University, 60629 Frankfurt am Main, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fabian","family":"Emrich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, University Hospital Frankfurt, Goethe University, 60629 Frankfurt am Main, Germany"},{"name":"Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, University Hospital Augsburg, 86156 Augsburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"174","DOI":"10.1186\/s13054-018-2102-1","article-title":"Definitions and Pathophysiology of Vasoplegic Shock","volume":"22","author":"Lambden","year":"2018","journal-title":"Crit.
