Key result
Elderly ACHD patients undergoing simple shunt closure require careful peri-procedural management of HF, AF, and LVDD.
In elderly patients with simple shunt diseases like ASD, careful management of comorbidities such as heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is essential before and after closure.
Supports careful comorbidity management in elderly ACHD shunt closure; leaves open optimal protocols pending prospective data.

Soma et al. (2023) conducted a review in Simple shunt disease in elderly adult congenital heart disease (ACHD). Catheter closure was evaluated. In elderly patients with adult congenital heart disease, simple shunt diseases like ASD, VSD, and PDA require careful management of heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction before and after catheter closure.
