  • Title: Primary percutaneous coronary intervention for acute myocardial infarction in a pediatric patient with giant coronary aneurysm due to Kawasaki disease.
    Author: Mongiovì M, Alaimo A, Vernuccio F, Pieri D.
    Journal: Congenit Heart Dis; 2014; 9(1):E16-8. PubMed ID: 23601472.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of acute myocardial infarction in an 8-year-old boy with a history of Kawasaki disease and giant coronary aneurysms in the right and left coronary arteries. We performed coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention 4 hours after the onset of symptoms. This case suggests that primary percutaneous coronary intervention might be safe and effective in the long-term treatment of acute myocardial infarction due to coronary sequelae of Kawasaki.
