  • Title: Comprehensive evaluation of a patient with Kawasaki disease and giant coronary aneurysms with cardiac magnetic resonance.
    Author: Prsa M, Hussain T, McCrindle BW, Grosse-Wortmann L.
    Journal: Congenit Heart Dis; 2014; 9(6):E195-8. PubMed ID: 23948020.
    Abstract:
    In patients with Kawasaki disease (KD) and coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs), serial evaluation with multiple imaging modalities is recommended to guide risk stratification and management. We present the case of a 7-year-old boy with a history of KD and multiple giant CAAs who developed thrombosis in one of the aneurysms. We illustrate how cardiac magnetic resonance is unique in allowing a comprehensive assessment in patients with severe KD and how it may affect their management.
