A rare case: surviving acute left main coronary artery occlusion in Kawasaki's disease

Abstract
We present a case of cardiogenic shock due to acute thrombotic occlusion of the left main coronary artery in Kawasaki's aneurysmal coronary artery disease. The patient was treated with PTCA as a bridge to CABG. Because of a persistent low-output syndrome, orthotopic heart transplantation was successfully performed three days later. The patient is alive and well one year after the event.
