Fluid Balance During Closure of Atrial Septal Defect

Completed
Conditions
Heart Septal Defects, Atrial
Heart Defects,Congenital
Registration Number
NCT01757743
Lead Sponsor
Oslo University Hospital
Brief Summary

This project will evaluate fluid balance and oedema formation in children with the same congenital heart disease (Atrial Septal Defect) who will either go through heart surgery with the use of Cardio Pulmonary Bypass and hypothermia or through interventional catheterization. The investigators will measure interstitial colloid osmotic pressure, distribution of proteins and cytokines. The study hypothesis is that "Oedema developed during heart surgery is caused by reduced colloid osmotic pressure gradient through the capillary membrane".
