    Abstract:
    A 25-year-old man with a history of Kawasaki disease from the age of 7 had acute inferior myocardial infarction. Emergency right coronary arteriogram showed successive coronary aneurysms at the proximal to middle portion of the right coronary artery, and total occlusion at the proximal segment. Intracoronary thrombolysis was performed and the right coronary artery was recanalized. On left coronary arteriography, coronary aneurysms and mild localized stenoses at the inlet and outlet of the aneurysms were found. It was suggested that the myocardial infarction was caused by thrombotic occlusion of coronary aneurysms complicated with Kawasaki disease.
