Key Points

To address the challenge of revascularization in Kawasaki disease-related coronary artery disease.
Described a case of dense concentric calcification in Kawasaki disease with early graft failure.
Performed rotatripsy-assisted angioplasty to treat the calcification.
Utilized intracoronary imaging during the procedure.
Successfully treated the patient with rotatripsy-assisted angioplasty.
Improved outcomes in managing coronary artery disease from Kawasaki disease.

Implication

Case report reveals successful angioplasty for calcification in Kawasaki disease, suggesting better strategies for graft failure.

Abstract

Kawasaki disease-related CAD presents a clinical challenge in selecting the optimal revascularization strategy. Calcium modification and intracoronary imaging are crucial for a successful percutaneous coronary intervention in Kawasaki disease-related CAD.
