Successful Stent Implantation in Acute Myocardial Infarction and Successful Directional Coronary Atherectomy of a Stenotic Lesion Involving an Aneurysm in a Woman with Kawasaki Disease of Adult Onset

Successful Stent Implantation in Acute Myocardial Infarction and Successful Directional Coronary... Our patient was a woman who suffered from Kawasaki disease at the age of 20. Coronary aneurysms were confirmed in the left main trunk and proximal sites of the left anterior descending artery and the circumflex artery by coronary angiography at the age of 21. When she suffered an inferior acute myocardial infarction at the age of 24, two Palmaz‐Schatz stents were successfully implanted in the right coronary lesion in order to prevent acute closure. One month later, directional coronary atherectomy was successfully performed to the left anterior descending artery lesion which had a rapid progression of the stenosis, and the pathological examination revealed that the cause of the stenosis was thrombus. She has remained well during the following 2 years. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Interventional Cardiology Wiley

Abstract

Our patient was a woman who suffered from Kawasaki disease at the age of 20. Coronary aneurysms were confirmed in the left main trunk and proximal sites of the left anterior descending artery and the circumflex artery by coronary angiography at the age of 21. When she suffered an inferior acute myocardial infarction at the age of 24, two Palmaz‐Schatz stents were successfully implanted in the right coronary lesion in order to prevent acute closure. One month later, directional coronary atherectomy was successfully performed to the left anterior descending artery lesion which had a rapid progression of the stenosis, and the pathological examination revealed that the cause of the stenosis was thrombus. She has remained well during the following 2 years.
