Distribution of Kawasaki Disease Coronary Artery Aneurysms and the Relationship to Coronary Artery Diameter

We investigated how the diameter of coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) relates to the distribution immediately after Kawasaki disease (KD). Two hundred and four pts (155 males and 49 females) who had undergone selective coronary angiography (CAGs) less than 100 days after the onset of KD were studied. W...

Description
Summary:We investigated how the diameter of coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) relates to the distribution immediately after Kawasaki disease (KD). Two hundred and four pts (155 males and 49 females) who had undergone selective coronary angiography (CAGs) less than 100 days after the onset of KD were studied. We measured the maximum diameter of each artery segment in the initial CAGs. We analyzed the relationship between the maximum diameters and the distribution of CAA. We divided the patients into four groups based on the maximum CAA diameter in each patient (large(L) ≥8 mm, medium(M) ≥6 and
