Background: The alternative device to close perimembranous ventricular septal defect (pmVSD) has been searched for better result, less complications and applicable for infants. However, the ideal device is still unavailable. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and outcome of transcatheter pmVSD closure using the KONAR-multi functional occluder (MFO).

- Extended end-to-end anastomosis (EEEA) for aortic coarctation and arch hypoplasia can lead to a smaller, but growing, proximal aortic arch segment in patients, indicating potential for improvement post-surgery.
- A study reviewing 140 patients showed a 57% prevalence of tubular hypoplasia of the aortic arch (THAA) and a low rate of surgical and catheter reinterventions during a median follow-up of 18 months.
- While the hypoplastic segment in THAA patients showed significant growth, it remained smaller compared to those without THAA, suggesting that repair is feasible with a low reintervention risk, particularly for z-scores above -6.
Aim: to assess for a correlation between T2*CMR with LV function and mass in thalassemic patients with iron overload.
Methods: a cross-sectional study on thalassemic patients was conducted between July and September 2010 at Cipto Mangunkusumo and Premier Hospitals, Jakarta, Indonesia. Clinical examinations, review of medical charts, electrocardiography, echocardiography, and T2*CMR were performed.
