Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patients, parents, or legal guardian willing and able to sign informed consent
  • Male and female subjects aged ≤18 years of age (females of child-bearing potential willing to practice an acceptable form of birth control)
  • Patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass for repair of a large unrestrictive ventricular septal defect, an ostium primum/secundum atrial septal defect, or a partial or complete atrioventricular septal defect
  • Pre-operative echocardiogram confirming cardiovascular anatomy and defect to be repaired

Exclusion

  • Evidence of pulmonary artery or vein abnormalities that will not be addressed surgically. Specific abnormalities excluded include:
  • significant pulmonary artery narrowing not amenable to surgical correction
  • previous pulmonary artery stent placement
  • significant left sided AV valve regurgitation not amenable to surgical correction
  • pulmonary venous return abnormalities not amenable to surgical correction
  • pulmonary vein stenosis not amenable to surgical correction
  • Preoperative requirement for mechanical ventilation or IV inotrope support
  • Presence of fixed or idiopathic pulmonary hypertension (i.e. Eisenmenger's Syndrome) prior to surgical repair
  • Pre-operative use of medications to treat pulmonary hypertension
  • Pregnancy; Sexually active females of child-bearing potential must be willing to practice an acceptable method of birth control for the duration of study participation (e.g. oral contraceptive, hormonal implant, intra-uterine device)

  • Any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, might interfere with the study objectives
