title: [Myocardial revascularization using bilateral internal mammary arteries for total occlusion of LMCA in an adult case: sequelae of Kawasaki's disease in childhood].
abstract: A 43-year-old female patient suffering from effort angina underwent coronary artery bypass grafting. Coronary arteriogram demonstrated complete occlusion of the left main, proximal circumflex (Cx), and proximal left anterior descending coronary arteries (LAD) and a nonocclusive fusiform calcified aneurysm of the proximal right coronary artery (RCA). The left coronary artery system opacified via collateral vessels from the RCA. No other abnormalities were found in the entire aorta and its major branches. Myocardial revascularization was performed using the right IMA to bypass to the Cx and the left IMA to bypass to the LAD successfully. Prior to the operation, she had neither coronary risk factors nor inflammatory signs, though she had experienced fever of unknown origin lasting about a week when she was 11 years old. Accordingly we supposed that such coronary arterial lesions might have arisen from Kawasaki's disease in her childhood.
