Systemic arterial aneurysm complicated by thrombosis in an infant with resistant Kawasaki disease

Ann Pediatr Cardiol. 2019 May-Aug;12(2):147-149. doi: 10.4103/apc.APC_73_18.

Abstract

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis commonly associated with coronary artery aneurysms. Small-sized and medium-sized systemic arterial aneurysms have also been described, particularly in infants and patients with resistant KD. This case illustrates the presentation of a systemic arterial aneurysm complicated by arterial thrombosis and successful interventional management in a young infant.

Keywords: Arterial thrombosis; Kawasaki disease; infant; systemic aneurysm.
