    Author: Etheridge SP, Tani LY, Minich LL, Revenaugh JR.
    Journal: Cathet Cardiovasc Diagn; 1998 Nov; 45(3):264-8. PubMed ID: 9829884.
    Abstract:
    A 4-month-old girl with Kawasaki disease, large coronary artery aneurysms, and coronary thrombi was treated with standard therapy followed by abciximab, a platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antagonist, in addition to standard heparin and warfarin sodium anticoagulation and low-dose aspirin. She did not develop evidence of ischemia, had no complications from the therapy, and showed resolution of the aneurysms and thrombi after 6 wk of therapy.
