Computed tomography angiography and magnetic resonance angiography evaluate coronary artery in children with Kawasaki disease / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Kawasaki disease can affect the coronary arteries,including coronary artery dilation,aneurysm,stenosis and thrombus.Conventional coronary angiography is the gold standard for coronary artery evaluation,but there are risks associated with its invasive nature and with the exposure to contrast agents and radiation.With the rapid development,computed tomography angiography and magnetic resonance angiography become the noninvasive imaging modalities to evaluate the coronary artery.
