Coronary artery revascularization in a young adult with solitary coronary aneurysm probably secondary to childhood Kawasaki disease

ABSTRACT

Surgical revascularization for coronary artery lesions secondary to Kawasaki disease [KD] has been rarely reported in adolescent patients. We report a young adult with no coronary risk factors but with a giant solitary coronary aneurysm with obstructive thrombosis inside, presumably secondary to KD, who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG] with left internal thoracic artery [LITA] and SVG. Because coronary artery sequelae of KD can be a cause of ischemic heart disease even in young adults, heightened awareness of this entity is required for young adults with coronary lesions but without coronary risk factors
