description

Development of coronary artery aneurysms is one typical complication of Kawasaki disease and can cause coronary artery disease even in early childhood. Information about course and outcome in adults is rare. Here, we present a 49-year-old man with serious three-vessel coronary artery disease and giant coronary artery aneurysms following suspected Kawasaki disease.
