  • Title: Coronary revascularization in a child with Kawasaki disease: use of right gastroepiploic artery.
    Author: Takeuchi Y, Gomi A, Okamura Y, Mori H, Nagashima M.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1990 Aug; 50(2):294-6. PubMed ID: 2383118.
    Abstract:
    In coronary insufficiency produced by Kawasaki disease, myocardial revascularization using saphenous vein, internal mammary arteries, and a combination of both grafts has been performed with considerable success. Recently, we successfully used a right gastroepiploic artery as another conduit in coronary revascularization of a 6-year-old boy with Kawasaki disease. Use of the gastroepiploic artery was feasible even in a small child, and this technique is expected to contribute to long-term graft patency as an arterial graft adjunct to internal mammary arteries.
