  • Title: Acute myocardial infarction and 30-year coronary aneurysm follow-up by serial angiography in a young adult with Kawasaki disease.
    Author: Matsushita K, Tamura T, Nishiga M, Kaitani K, Izumi C, Nakagawa Y.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Interv Ther; 2015 Apr; 30(2):142-6. PubMed ID: 24729026.
    Abstract:
    The number of adult patients with coronary artery disease caused by Kawasaki disease (KD) is gradually increasing, but some patients drop out of clinical follow-up. However, careful, long-term follow-up and establishment of an optimal treatment strategy are needed in these patients, as well as cooperation between pediatric and adult cardiologists. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction in a young adult patient with KD whose serial coronary angiography was followed up for over 30 years. Successful reperfusion therapy was performed with thrombus aspiration, rotational atherectomy, and implantation of a drug-eluting stent.
