Objectives: There is limited data regarding feasibility and safety of very large ASD devices deployment. Percutaneous closure of very large atrial septal defect (ASD) is a valid alternative to surgical approach. But complications like erosion, cardiac perforation, atrioventricular block, pericardial effusion, infective endocarditis, or cardiac arrhythmias may occur following ASD device closure. Methods: Forty four patients with very large ostium secundum ASD were studied in a tertiary medical centre. Adult patients with defect size of 38 mm or more and device size of 40 mm or more were selected for device closure. Patients having suitable anatomy, significant left to right shunt(>1.5:1) ,right ventricular volume overload and without significant pulmonary arterial hypertension were chosen for device closure. Results : There were thirty six female patients and eight male patients in our study. Majority of our patients (twenty four) were in forty to fifty years age group. Device could be deployed successfully in forty two (95.5%). Twelve patients had device size of 46 mm (27%). Eight patients had 44 mm devices(18%). Forty two millimeter devices were used in sixteen patients (36%). Eight patients had device size of 40 mm(18%).Device embolization occurred in two patients. There were two cases of pericardial effusion and pericardiocentesis was needed in one patients. Transient complete heart block was seen in one patient. Four patients had suffered from transient and self terminating atrial arrhythmias. There was no mortality or erosion in our study. Conclusion: Percutaneous closure of very large ASD is feasible and associated with low complication rate

Introduction: The de Winter pattern (dWP) was first described by de Winter and colleagues in 2008 as static pattern associated with anterior myocardial infarction. A recent study showed the evolution sequence of this pattern into typical ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This case discussed dWP who present as pre-anterior STEMI. Case Illustration: A-56-year old Male arrived in the emergency room complained chest pain about 3 hours. The patient also complained of diaphoresis, nausea, and fatigue. The patient has a previous history of hypertension. The vital signs were stable with an unremarkable physical examination. The initial electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed sinus rhythm with j-point depression followed by prominent T wave in precordial leads, slight ST-segment elevation in aVR, and loss of precordial R-wave progression. The initial-troponin-T was 31 pg/mL. Follow-up 1-hour after initial ECG showed typical ST-segment-elevation in V1-V4. The patient undergoing thrombolytic, followed by angiography that showed subtotal occlusion in the proximal left anterior descending (LAD) artery, occlusion in the proximal circumflex artery and stenosis in proximal right coronary artery, echocardiography revealed regional wall motion abnormality in the septal and anterior segments and preserved ejection fraction 58%, the patient was discharged after 8-days treated in intensive cardiac care unit. Conclusion: dWP has been shown as static and dynamic pattern in some conditions and associated with acute LAD occlusion. In this case, we showed dWP as early anterior STEMI, recognition of this pattern lead to early reperfusion and better myocardial salvage as anterior STEMI has a poor outcome.

Patent foramen ovale is strongly associated with cryptogenic stroke. Variousclinical trials has shown the association between cryptogenic stroke andincidence of undelrying patent foramen ovale, these trials also shown thedecrease of cryptogenic stroke incidence with the treatment of patentforamen ovale Lesion. In the absence of absolute contraindications, patientswith patent foramen ovale are advised to undergo closure. Preproceduralexaminations such as trans esophageal echocardiography and pretreatmentwith anticoagulants are required to prevent peri and postprocedural adverseevents. Currently, patent foramen ovale Closure can be done through apercutaneous access with minimal risk. Treatment of patent foramen ovalecan help decrease future incidences of strokes

NSTEACS is subset of ACS that may present with a wide degree of stenosis from normal vessels to severe obstruction. Identification of which population of NSTEACS that has normal vessels has attracted a great attention. Several trials on non-invasive imaging such as coronary CT have been largely investigated. Current available trials have showed that coronary CT is accurately identify significant stenosis in patients with NSTEACS thus can be used to rule out the disease and reduce the need and duration of unneeded antithrombotic. However, several limitations of the studies has to be taken into account when translating into clinical practice. Nevertheless, current evidence are showing promising results on the role of coronary CT in management of NSTEACS.

The prevalence of stroke in Indonesia increased overtime. CS ranges from 15 to 40% from all ischemic strokes. Finding the etiology of ischemic stroke is important to prevent recurrence. AF is predicted as the etiology behind CS. The current recommendation only supports short period of ECG monitoring. However, studies have shown that a higher detection rate can be achieved with longer duration of monitoring. ICM, a diagnostic tool with the highest detection rate, is still considered cost-effective when the calculation takes into account the QALY gained. Digital health tools such as handheld devices and smartwatch ECG have revolutionized the screening of AF however it is still considered as pre-diagnostic and verification is needed to confirm the rhythm generated.

A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a common disorder that affects between 20-34% of the adult population. This condition is a benign finding for most people. However, In some the PFO can open widely and enabling paradoxical embolism to transit from venous to arterial circulation, which is associated with stroke and systemic embolization. There are still unclear to date regarding the effectiveness of pharmacological anticoagulant therapy, defined as antithrombin or antiplatelet therapy, which has proven to be more beneficial for patients with PFO and cryptogenic stroke. In addition, surgical and transcutaneous PFO closure has been proposed for secondary prevention of stroke in patients with cryptogenic stroke with PFO. Both catheter-based and surgical modes of closure have been shown to reduce the incidence of subsequent embolism substantially. This review will discuss the evidence regarding the relationship between PFO and cryptogenic stroke and decision making for management strategies.

Ischemic stroke is responsible for 85% of all stroke globally. However, the etiology of around a quarter of ischemic stroke are undetermined, this is called cryptogenic stroke. This kind of stroke affects younger population. Several mechanism are associated with the incidence of cryptogenic stroke such as paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, patent foramen ovale, atherosclerosis, and atrial cardiopathy. Despite many advanced knowledge on stroke generally, cryptogenic stroke is still a challenge in clinical settings. To understand more about cryptogenic stroke, a new term of embolic strokes of undetermined source (ESUS) is proposed and may need a specific workup. Specific workup aims to detect any silent risk factors and also to evaluate the cardiac structure. The term of ESUS also leads to the understanding that cryptogenic stroke is highly related to embolic mechanism and anticoagulation administration might benefit the patients. However, the result of several recent studies showed that anticoagulant was not superior to antiplatelet, and antiplatelet is still the preferred treatment. Studies on PFO closure also shows different result, but the majority of the trials showed benefit of PFO closure in reducing the risk of stroke recurrence.

Cerebrovascular thromboembolism is responsible annually for 510.000 ischaemic stroke in the united states alone. PFO mechanism as a paradoxical embolism transit from right to left-sided chambers to intracranial vessels has a tremendous impact in neurological deficits. The aggressive treatment started since 2016 when the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the Amplatzer PFO occluder for recurrent stroke prevention of cryptogenic stroke with PFO. The trials show positive results since 2017 and the collaboration and partnership between neurologist and cardiologist are more needed to build a holistic and comprehensive treatment for cryptogenic stroke patient with PFO.

Background: Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a major cause of cryptogenic stroke (CS). However, it is still possible that PFO comes with those other conditions during evaluation. This paper presents a series of CS cases highly suspected due to PFO origin with each of its special presentations. Case illustration/summary of a review article: We present three cases of CS with PFO as a possible contributing factor. Case 1 showed a patient with repeated ischemic strokes that was investigated to be cryptogenic in origin. Case 2 showed CS with PFO and occult atrial fibrillation. Case 3 showed CS at a young age caused by a PFO with protein C/S deficiency. Conclusion: The role of PFO as a culprit, risk factor, or a coincidental finding in CS is still debatable and is a controversial issue. Determining PFO as a cause of CS requires a thorough consideration of clinical and PFO anatomical/morphological factors.
