Coronary artery bypass grafting in a child with Kawasaki disease

Kawasaki disease (KD) with cardiac involvement can result in the development of coronary aneurysm, stenosis or thrombosis with significant cardiovascular implications. We report the case of a 23-month-old male with a late diagnosis of KD, in whom intravenous immunoglobulin treatment was not feasible...

We report the case of a 23-month-old male with a late diagnosis of KD, in whom intravenous immunoglobulin treatment was not feasible. The patient's course was assessed by routine echocardiography. At the age of five years, angiographic assessment revealed an aneurysm of the anterior descending coronary artery measuring 17 mm×7 mm involving the first diagonal branch, 90% post-aneurysmal stenosis, and an aneurysm of the right coronary artery measuring 32 mm×6 mm. Due to the critical anatomy of the anterior descending artery the revascularization method of choice was coronary artery bypass surgery with an internal mammary artery graft, under cardiopulmonary bypass. There were no significant intraoperative or postoperative complications. This confirms coronary artery bypass grafting as a reliable treatment option for patients who present with coronary sequelae from KD, even at a very young age. Resumo: A doença de Kawasaki pode resultar no desenvolvimento de aneurisma, estenose e trombose coronária com importantes implicações cardiovasculares. Reportamos o caso de um doente do sexo masculino de 23 meses com o diagnóstico tardio de doença de Kawasaki, impossibilitando o tratamento atempado com imunoglobulina endovenosa. O doente foi seguido em ambulatório com controlo ecocardiográfico e angiográfico. Aos cinco anos de idade a coronariografia revelava: a) aneurisma da artéria descendente anterior com 17×7 mm, envolvendo a primeira diagonal; b) estenose de 90% pós-aneurismática: c) aneurisma da coronária direita com 32×6 mm. Tendo em consideração a anatomia crítica da lesão envolvendo a artéria descendente anterior, a estratégia de intervenção escolhida foi cirurgia de revascularização miocárdica com um enxerto de artéria mamária esquerda in situ, sob circulação extracorporal. O procedimento decorreu sem intercorrências intra ou pós-operatórias de relevo. A cirurgia de revascularização miocárdica apresenta-se como uma opção viável na presença de sequelas coronárias de doença de Kawasaki, mesmo em doentes muito jovens.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0870255121001888Doença de KawasakiEnxerto de bypass de artéria coronáriaAneurisma coronário
