Key result
Catheter intervention successfully dilated 91% of coronary lesions in patients with Kawasaki disease without complications, with restenosis rates of 9% at 4-6 months and 13% at 3-4 years.

Supports feasibility of catheter interventions for Kawasaki coronary stenoses; leaves open optimal modality selection and long-term durability.
Observational (n=22)
Does catheter intervention effectively treat coronary artery lesions after Kawasaki disease?
Catheter intervention for coronary lesions in Kawasaki disease is feasible and effective in the short term, though restenosis occurs in a subset of patients requiring further revascularization.
Ishii et al. (2002) conducted an observational in Coronary artery lesions after Kawasaki disease (n=22). Catheter intervention was evaluated on Successful dilation without major or minor complications. Catheter intervention successfully dilated 91% of coronary lesions in patients with Kawasaki disease without complications, with restenosis rates of 9% at 4-6 months and 13% at 3-4 years.
