Why the study?
Can endovascular stenting be used to manage coronary artery stenosis in a pediatric patient with Kawasaki disease?
Can endovascular stenting be used to manage coronary artery stenosis in a pediatric patient with Kawasaki disease?
Endovascular stenting may be a feasible management strategy for coronary artery stenosis complicating Kawasaki disease in pediatric patients.
Does not support routine stenting in pediatric Kawasaki stenosis; leaves open feasibility questions pending prospective data.
Coronary artery lesions can develop in Kawaski disease as a major complication, and result in aneurysm formation and stenosis. Reported is the evolution of important coronary artery stenosis in a pediatric patient managed with an endovascular stent. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 46:333–336, 1999.
