Kawasaki disease: involution of giant coronary aneurysms after prolonged anti-inflammatory treatment
The patient is a 5-year-old male with Kawasaki disease, whose involution of giant aneurysms of the left coronary arteries was surprising after a prolonged period of treatment, which lasted 80 uninterrupted days and comprised anti-inflammatory drugs associated with anticoagulation agents. The distal diameters of the anterior interventricular, the diagonal, and the circumflex arteries normalized by the end of the treatment. A residual giant aneurysm localized at the beginning of the anterior interventricular artery did not cause ischemia. Continuation of the medication for a prolonged period was recommended.
