[Case report of CABG for progressive coronary artery stenosis after 22-year history of Kawasaki disease]

Abstract

More than 30 years has passed since Kawasaki disease was recognized as an independent disease entity, but the cardiovascular complications of Kawasaki disease are still not well known. We report an 22-year-old woman who underwent triple coronary artery bypass grafting because of a coronary artery aneurysm and multiple coronary artery stenoses, 22 years after the diagnosis of Kawasaki disease. A 2 cm coronary artery aneurysm due to Kawasaki disease was diagnosed when she was 10 years old, when she first presented with the symptom of dyspnea on effort. Since then, she was followed at the outpatient clinic. When she was 19 years old, the first coronary catheterization was performed. Two years later, the second coronary catheterization revealed progression of coronary artery disease. Therefore, coronary artery bypass grafting was performed. This case is rare from the point of view of long-term progression of coronary artery disease.
