Abstract

Kawasaki disease or mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome is an acute, febrile vasculitis of unknown etiology affecting mainly infants and children under five years of age.Coronary artery involvement, which occurs in approximately 20% of such patients, may be the most important feature of this syndrome.In this paper, we report a successful coronary artery bypass graft in a nine-year-old boy with a giant coronary artery aneurysm and diffuse coronary artery disease.
