Platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor blockade therapy for large coronary aneurysms and thrombi in Kawasaki disease

S P Etheridge et al. Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn. 1998 Nov.

Abstract

A 4-month-old girl with Kawasaki disease, large coronary artery aneurysms, and coronary thrombi was treated with standard therapy followed by abciximab, a platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonist, in addition to standard heparin and warfarin sodium anticoagulation and low-dose aspirin. She did not develop evidence of ischemia, had no complications from the therapy, and showed resolution of the aneurysms and thrombi after 6 wk of therapy.
