Abstract

The Kawasaki disease has been reported worldwide since the first description in 1967 in Japan. Approximately 20% of the children with untreated Kawasaki disease are believed to develop coronary artery aneurysm of which 2-3% progress to coronary artery stenosis. The Kawasaki disease rarely affects adults and accordingly, there have been only a few cases reported in literatures. The present case describes a successful surgical treatment of a 43-year-old female patient with coronary artery aneurysm and stenosis, which resulted from an episode of the Kawasaki disease that occurred 20 years earlier. The patient was well at 5 months followup.
