Key result
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery was successfully performed in a nine-year-old boy with a giant coronary artery aneurysm and diffuse coronary artery disease secondary to Kawasaki disease.
Case Report (n=1)
Coronary artery bypass graft surgery can be successfully performed in pediatric patients with severe coronary complications from Kawasaki disease.
Case supports CABG feasibility in severe pediatric Kawasaki coronary disease; leaves open need for larger outcome studies.
Kawasaki disease or mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome is an acute, febrile vasculitis of unknown etiology affecting mainly infants and children under five years of age. Coronary artery involvement, which occurs in approximately 20% of such patients, may be the most important feature of this syndrome. In this paper, we report a successful coronary artery bypass graft in a nine-year-old boy with a giant coronary artery aneurysm and diffuse coronary artery disease.
