Histopathological Characteristics of Post-inflamed Coronary Arteries in Kawasaki Disease-like Vasculitis of Rabbits
Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis in infants that develops predominantly in the coronary arteries. Despite the clinically transient nature of active inflammation in childhood albeit rare complications (e.g., coronary artery aneurysm), KD has recently been suggested to increase the incidence of ischemic heart diseases in young adulthood. However, little is known about the histopatho...
متن کاملChanges in Coronary Perfusion after Occlusion of Coronary Arteries in Kawasaki Disease
PURPOSE Myocardial infarction in children with total occlusion of a coronary artery after Kawasaki disease is rare due to multiple collateral vessels. We aimed to investigate the changes in coronary perfusion associated with coronary artery occlusion after Kawasaki disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eleven patients with coronary artery occlusion after Kawasaki disease were investigated. Serial co...
متن کاملORIGINAL ARTICLES Aneurysms of the Coronary Arteries in Kawasaki Disease
Thirty patients with coronary aneurysms associated with Kawasaki disease underwent coronary arteriography. Of 53 aneurysms, five were saccular, 24 sacculofusiform, 19 fusiform and five tubular. When tubular aneurysms were included in the fusiform type, the incidence of each configuration in the right coronary artery was almost the same as that in the left coronary artery. The left anterior desc...
