Key result
Primary PCI succeeds at 4 hours in an 8-year-old with Kawasaki disease-related MI.
Why the study?
The safety and effectiveness of primary percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction due to coronary sequelae of Kawasaki disease in pediatric patients is not well established.
Does primary percutaneous coronary intervention improve outcomes in pediatric patients with acute myocardial infarction due to Kawasaki disease?

Does primary percutaneous coronary intervention improve outcomes in pediatric patients with acute myocardial infarction due to Kawasaki disease?
Primary PCI may be a safe and effective treatment for acute myocardial infarction in pediatric patients with giant coronary aneurysms secondary to Kawasaki disease.
Hypothesis-generating for timely primary PCI in pediatric Kawasaki MI; prospective studies needed before clinical adoption.
We report a case of acute myocardial infarction in an 8-year-old boy with a history of Kawasaki disease and giant coronary aneurysms in the right and left coronary arteries. We performed coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention 4 hours after the onset of symptoms. This case suggests that primary percutaneous coronary intervention might be safe and effective in the long-term treatment of acute myocardial infarction due to coronary sequelae of Kawasaki.

Mongiovì et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Acute myocardial infarction due to Kawasaki disease (n=1). Primary percutaneous coronary intervention was evaluated on Safety and efficacy of primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention was successfully performed 4 hours after symptom onset in an 8-year-old boy with acute myocardial infarction due to Kawasaki disease.
