Stent placement for coronary stenosis in Kawasaki disease: case report and literature review

J Interv Cardiol. 2002 Feb;15(1):29-31. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8183.2002.tb01030.x.

Abstract

A 48-year-old male patient diagnosed with Kawasaki disease in childhood presented with recurrent angina after undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery in 1996. Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty and intracoronary stent placement to a lesion in the proximal ramus intermedius were performed successfully. This case illustrates the complementary nature of percutaneous and surgical myocardial revascularization strategies in appropriately selected patients with Kawasaki disease.
