The 27 surviving patients with proven aneurysms were followed for 2 to 40 months (mean 15), during which they received low dose (5 to 10 mg/...

We reported that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) might play a role in the vascular leakage of KD. In fatal KD, plasma leakage was extensively documented at VEGF-positive microvessels. Increases in vascular leakage cause hypoalbuminemia and noncardiogenic edema. However, the prognostic impact o...
