RESUMO
Kawasaki´s disease (KD) has surpassed rheumatic fever in many countries as the first cause of acquired heart disease in pediatric age, being the coronary aneurism its worst complication. We present a case of successful revascularization in a 5-year-old patient, with three-vessel coronary disease secondary to KD, who underwent a coronary bypass with anastomosis from the left internal mammary artery to the anterior descending artery, the right mammary artery to the marginal obtuse artery and the radial artery to the posterior descending artery. Close follow-up and choosing the right time to undergo surgery will prevent adverse events like permanent disability of the patient, ventricular dysfunction, arrhythmias, global infarction and sudden death.
RESUMO
El flutter auricular es una causa infrecuente de taquicardia supraventricular en la edad pediátrica, con una incidencia de 0,01%, cifra subestimada por la baja tasa de sospecha clínica. Se presenta el caso de un niño con la asociación más rara de flutter auricular: debut en edad escolar, corazón estructuralmente sano y circuito de re-entrada localizado en aurícula izquierda. El tratamiento correcto de la taquicardia supraventricular fue importante para el adecuado diagnóstico y manejo a largo plazo de la arritmia.
Atrial flutter is an uncommon cause of supraventricular tachycardia in children, with an incidence of 0.01%, which is underestimated by the low rate of clinical suspicion. The case of a child with the rare association of atrial flutter is presented: school-age debut, structurally normal heart, and reentry circuit located in the left atrium. Correct treatment of supraventricular tachycardia was important for adequate diagnosis and long-term management of the arrhythmia.
