the major complication of kawasaki disease is coronary artery dilatation and aneurysm. it occurs in approximately 15-25% of untreated children with kawasaki disease. early diagnosis and treatment with intravenous immune globulin (ivig) and aspirin (asa) can reduce the incidence of coronary artery abnormality to 2%-5%. we report one case of atypical kawasaki disease with multiple giant coronary ...

Background Kawasaki disease (KD) also known as mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome is the febrile and self-limited vasculitis that occurs in children of all ages, especially younger than five years of age. Here, we describe a case of Kawasaki disease with coronary artery aneurysm and a big clot in LV with a diameter of 1.5 cm. <stron...

Coronary artery aneurysms are noted in 0.15% to 4.9% of patients undergoing coronary angiography. Atherosclerosis accounts for 50% of coronary aneurysms in adults. We report a 64-year-old female with a huge right coronary artery aneurysm with fistula connecting the aneurysm with the pulmonary artery and a fistula connecting the proximal left anterior descending artery with the pulmonary artery....

INTRODUCTION Coronary artery aneurysm is an uncommon disease. It is defined as a coronary artery dilatation, exceeding the diameter of the normal adjacent segment or the diameter of the patient's largest coronary vessel by 1.5 to 2 times. Coronary artery aneurysms are typically diagnosed by coronary angiography. The prognosis of coronary artery aneurysm is not well known and the management is c...

Surgical treatment for an atherosclerotic huge coronary aneurysm is very rare. We have reported 58 years old male who had a huge growing aneurysm in left circumflex coronary artery and underwent aneurysmectomy and coronary-coronary bypass grafting with saphenous vein.

The aim of this study was to determine risk factors for coronary lesions, the type of heart lesion present, and long-term outcome in Kawasaki disease. We studied 150 children, aged 3 months to 9.5 years, who met the criteria for a diagnosis of Kawasaki disease. Of the 18% who were diagnosed with heart disease, 100% had coronary artery abnormalities, 11.1% had pancarditis, and 3.7%, mitral insuf...

This study aimed to evaluate the role of gender in types and frequency of coronary artery aneurysm and ectasia.We assessed retrospectively the angiography records of 6100 patients. At first, we mainly reviewed angiographic movies for the presence of coronary ectasia and/or aneurysm. Consequently, based on the number of the coronary artery involvement, the coronary ectasia and aneurysm were grad...

Congenital coronary artery fistula (CAF) with huge coronary artery aneurysm is a very rare condition. In this paper, we describe a 26-year-old asymptomatic male patient with right coronary artery (RCA) to the left ventricle fistula with a huge coronary artery aneurysm which was diagnosed by multidetector computed tomography and coronary angiography. The patient received surgical treatment for c...

Infective coronary artery aneurysm is extremely rare and ruptured aneurysm is life-threatening. We report a case of ruptured coronary artery aneurysm, which was successfully treated by the patch closure technique and coronary artery bypass grafting. Pathological examination revealed purulent inflammation in the aneurysmal wall. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment were essential.

A 74-year-old man underwent coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Thirteen years later, he presented with complaints of exertional anterior chest oppression again. Computed tomography coronary angiography revealed the significant stenosis at the mid right coronary artery (RCA). In addition, a giant proximal left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) was found. We did not obse...
